ASL Patch Program (All)

Date: Sat Jul 25 2026, 11:30 AM PDT – 1:00 PM PDT
Within our culture and community, lives a second culture that very few are familiar with and that is the community of the Deaf. To live in our society that relies primarily on hearing to navigate, the world can become a difficult place to live. To compensate, they use their own language – American Sign Language (ASL) – that is purely visual and has its own unique sentence structure apart from English.

This patch program has been designed to educate the participants on the language itself, but also the culture and community that comes along with being Deaf or hard of hearing.

Cost: $5
