Programs
Silent Hope is a dedicated community outreach program focused on breaking down communication barriers and nurturing deeper family connections. Our mission is to serve families and communities with compassion, ensuring every voice is heard and every heart is understood.
Conversational Sign Language Class
This class is designed for individuals interested in learning American Sign Language (ASL), including parents of Deaf children, ASL students, and families of children with communication or language delays. Lessons focus on building practical vocabulary and skills to engage in everyday routines, daily activities, and small-talk conversations. Students will gain confidence in using sign language for meaningful connection and communication in real-life settings.
Community Outreach
Through our community outreach program, we visit churches, schools, and community organizations to share about American Sign Language, Deaf culture, and the importance of accessible communication. These sessions are designed to raise awareness, break down barriers, and promote inclusion by highlighting that meaningful connection is possible regardless of language or communication mode.
Parent Support Groups
Our parent support groups provide a welcoming space for families to connect with others who are walking similar journeys. These groups offer encouragement, shared experiences, and practical resources, while also featuring community and topic experts who equip parents with tools, knowledge, and support to help their families thrive.
Church Ministry
We partner with local churches to bring awareness and education about supporting children and adults with hearing loss and/or disabilities such as Autism. Our goal is to equip faith communities with practical tools and understanding so that every person can fully belong, participate, and grow within the body of Christ. In 2016, we joined the Deaf & Interpreter Ministry at Faith in Orlando, FL, expanding our commitment to accessibility and inclusion within the church.
Camp We Sign
Camp We Sign is an immersive, fun-filled 1 week day camp where children and teens learn American Sign Language, explore Deaf culture, and build confidence in communication. Through games, activities, and social interaction, campers gain practical signing skills while forming friendships and fostering family and relational unity in a supportive, inclusive environment.
ASL 1:1
Personalized one-on-one sessions designed for families with children who have communication disorders. Through regular virtual meetings with a dedicated ASL signing coach, families receive tailored instruction and support to build practical sign language skills for daily communication and meaningful connection.
ASL Socials
ASL Socials are relaxed, fun gatherings with no set agenda—just games, conversation, and connection! Families, the Deaf community, interpreters, and students of sign language come together to socialize, practice ASL, and build community in an informal, welcoming environment.
