Happenings
Our calendar of community events plays a vital role in fulfilling our mission of empowering deaf and hard of hearing individuals and their families by fostering connections, promoting accessibility, and celebrating our shared community. Here we list both community events and our own happenings. We hope to see you at some of these!
Community Calendar
By carefully curating a diverse range of events that cater to the interests and needs of our community members, we provide opportunities for education, advocacy, and social engagement.
Whether it's hosting workshops on sign language or organizing outings to accessible venues, our calendar serves as a hub for fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment among deaf and hard of hearing individuals and their families.
Though many of the events in this calendar are out of our control, we hope that their compilation here will help you find the connections you're looking for, even if they're outside of our Center.
Click on an event in this Google calendar, and you'll be able to get the details and even add it to your own calendar. If we're missing any events you know about, please use our Contact page to let us know about them and the organizations that put them on, and we'll add them to this calendar as quickly as possible.
Current Happenings
Here you'll find the list of happenings we put on here at the center, and in other locations. We hope you'll join us for one of these great happenings!
