Language deprivation in Deaf communities is a significant community health issue due to its severe effects on individuals' ability to engage with current knowledge systems and mainstream information.

Considering our commitment to community wellness, it is essential to address the language deprivation that affects BIPOC Deaf communities specifically.

Our adult literacy program, specifically designed for a sign language environment, seeks to vitalize Deaf adults—particularly those with lived BIPOC experience—in navigating and overcoming challenges in critical areas such as social mobility, employment opportunities, and personal development.

Our adult literacy classes are offered quarterly (every 3 months) until the students feel confident in taking professional exams or academic exams (ex: GED)

The classes can be paid in installment or paid in full or can be paid by a sponsor (DVR, charity organizations, etc.)
