Who We Are

DEAF EQUITY is a non-profit organization that serves the Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing community through volunteerism.

 

 We serve our community through dedicated volunteer work, guided by kindness and a commitment to positive impact. Our efforts embrace individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and intersecting identities.

​

 

​

BE KIND DO GOOD CREW_edited.jpg

We work on projects that will grow the community, have a greater impact and influence, and do GOOD in the community.  We see the bigger picture - an infrastructure of people who just need someone or an organization to have their back.  It MAY sound impossible but it is not!  We have amazing volunteers giving back to our community - one person, and one organization at a time. 

​

If this is your type of organization, please support us!
