Focus area

Deaf Youth Empowerment

Empowerment means young people having the information, confidence and opportunity to make their own choices.

Confidence and self-advocacy

Knowing your rights, asking for the access you need, and expressing your opinions are skills that grow with practice and support.

Being heard

Deaf young people should be involved in shaping the activities, services and decisions that affect them, not only consulted after the fact.

Be part of a more accessible future.
