Why Should You Join?

​

Our Board of Directors knows that deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children gain immensely from our affordable Deaf Youth Today (DYT) summer programs and the language immersive experience we offer (ASL).  Families benefit from workshops, family events, outreach opportunities and the ability to connect with Deaf mentors and meet other families. 

 

By becoming a member of FNDC, you show your support and belief in our mission, which is crucial and highly valued.

 

As a non-profit society, we rely on formal memberships. Your membership is a statement that you believe in our efforts to support DHH children, youth, and their families in British Columbia!

 

Our Impact and Mission

​

FNDC has driven many of the positive changes and services that families currently enjoy. We continue to advocate for: 

• Positive changes so no DHH child experiences language deprivation

• An improved Deaf Education system in BC 

• Access to qualified interpreters

• Access to post-secondary opportunities, including Gallaudet University and Rochester Institute of Technology (National Technical Institute for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing). 

 

Our work never stops when it comes to access and inclusion for our deaf and hard of hearing children!

 

Your Membership Matters

​

Joining FNDC shows you believe in what we’re doing. It supports programs like DYT, which offers DHH children/youth and young adults:

• An ASL immersive experience for language development and growth

• Social and recreational programs 

• Leadership opportunities 

• Summer employment

 

How We Keep Costs Low

​

We minimize expenses by working from home offices, securing grants to employ deaf students as DYT summer staff. 

 

We understand the financial sacrifices parents make to bring their children to our DYT Summer Program, and we strive to keep costs affordable.

 

Your membership fees and donations help cover costs for our DYT Summer Program, family events, website maintenance and workshop/event planning.
