The Clerc National Deaf Education Center at Gallaudet University is seeking hearing parents or caregivers of DHH children (ages 0–18) who identify as Latino/a or African American to take part in a new initiative — the Families of Color Advocacy (FOCA) Project.
Families are invited to attend a live 30-minute Zoom information session next month (specific dates and times are listed on the attached flyers) to learn more about the project and opportunities to participate in a Family Co-Creation Group. Families who join the group will receive compensation for their time and contributions.
Any questions or requests for additional information can be directed to foca@gallaudet.edu.
