You Are Always Invited

Would you like to see an event in your region? We are always looking for parent advocates in every corner of Virginia to help plan and host events. As a volunteer organization, we can only do so much, but can do so much more with your help! Please reach out if you would like us to travel to you next - we would love to connect with you!

Spring Social In Norfolk!

We are so excited for warmer weather and want to celebrate with a "Spring Social" event in the VA Beach area! We are partnering with Families to Families, a nonprofit family support group that serves deaf and hard-of-hearing kiddos, and their families, in the Hampton Roads region. This event will be held on Saturday, April 5th from 10am-12pm at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd located in Norfolk. The event will include FREE pizza, drinks, dessert, and (most importantly) a chance to connect with other families. Members and non-members are welcome!

Register Here!

Tickets are free but pre-registration is required by April 1st so we can prepare food and activities.

We are thrilled to finally meet our members who live in that area of Virginia, as well as meet some new families! We hope you can make it :)

On February 8th, 2025, we held a successful Valentine's get together at the Thomas Jefferson Library in Falls Church Virginia. 9 families came to event and were able to socialize with other families. The kids were able to make valentine's crafts. Valentine's themed snacks were provided. It was a fun time!

Events & Activities

While Virginia Hands & Voices hosts some of our own events, we often take advantage of, and meet at, programs offered by other organizations that will benefit our members. We do our best to keep this page up to date, but we encourage you to visit our Facebook page for the most current information.

Social Opportunities

We seek to connect children with other children and families with other families. Often, through fun, family-centered activities we make strong friendships and realize we are not alone on the journey.

Learning Opportunities

Have you thought, "I'm confused, but I'm too afraid to ask," during an IFSP, IEP or 504 plan meeting. Do you ever wish you could just talk to someone who's a few steps ahead of you on this journey or a professional in the field of childhood hearing loss? Virginia Hands & Voices seeks to provide opportunities to learn and explore with others like you.

When will Hands & Voices be in your area?

If we have not been in your area and you'd like to help us plan an event, please contact us at vahandsandvoices@gmail.com. The events we plan are often based on finding a volunteer in the area who can help us. We'd love to hear from you!

Stayed tuned for more!
