About Our Charity
For 50 years with the help of donors, families of children living with hearing loss have been provided the emotional and technical support they need as their child starts their journey to learn to hear, listen and speak. The programs and services we offer are shaped by four objectives:
- Support parents and give them the hope they need in raising their child with hearing loss.
- Empower children to become fully independent and integrated members of their community.
- Educate the public that children who are deaf can hear, listen and speak.
- Advocate for, and on behalf of, children with hearing loss to attain critical supports and services crucial to the academic achievement and well-being of children with hearing loss.
VOICE offers one-on-one parent mentoring, advocates for the needs of children with hearing loss in schools, publishes unique educational materials, hosts an annual conference for parents, teens, and professionals, provides auditory-verbal therapy referrals, and hosts inclusive summer family camps because of caring donors.
