To promote the empowerment, inclusion, cultural identity, communication access, and meaningful participation of Deaf young people through awareness, accessible information, community connection, and opportunities for personal development.

What this means in practice

We seek to encourage a society in which Deaf youth are respected, supported in expressing their individuality, and able to participate in decisions and opportunities that affect their lives.
