Get Involved

Every person has gifts and talents that will make a change in the lives of Deaf and Hard of Hearing children and their families.

We have a mountain-sized challenge. With your help and God’s providence, we can conquer these mountains.

Whatever amount you give or time you are willing to dedicate to our organization is appreciated. We need people who sign, speak, write, and operate cameras. We also need people who can make phone calls, do research, and more. We need people who can volunteer, and people who can help remotely.

We also need you to communicate with your church leadership – many have not even considered what they’d do if a Deaf person showed up in their congregation, or in their children’s ministries. You CAN help.

We need volunteers to step up once again as we develop new resources. Come volunteer with us!

• Simple contacts
• Community/Church relations
• Research
• Art work for children
• Voicing
• Copywriter
• Interpreting
• Fundraising

You can get involved with our September 5K fundraiser. You can host an in-person race day at your local church or at your local school.

You can also get creative with your own fundraising. There are a couple of ideas:

• Host a fundraising event for Deaf Kids Connect.
• Host a BBQ party to raise awareness about the majority of Deaf people worldwide that have not heard about Jesus and why this generation is important to share the Gospel with families.
• Celebrate by asking for donations instead of birthday gifts. Use your special day to change the lives of Deaf and Hard of Hearing children and their families.
• Organize a community fundraising event (i.e., paint night, yoga class, family literacy night)

We believe in the power of God’s story in your life. We believe in your story because God wants to use you and your story to connect others to Him. Every story is a good story because it all points to a great God.

The prayer team meets every Tuesday at 10:00 am EST through Zoom to pray for families of Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and CODA children. Members of the prayer team are located in Indiana, Oklahoma, Maryland, and Costa Rica. If you are interested in joining us, please contact Tanya Polstra at adminteam@deafkidsconnect.com and you will receive detailed information.

If you are an organization or business that develops and promotes Bible resources for children, consider partnering with us to make your resources accessible to Deaf and Hard of Hearing children. We can consult or support the development of an accessibility plan, including referrals.
