You Are Always Invited
* Pre-registration is required for all events
We are taking a bit of a break for the next couple of months as we are going through some leadership transitions. Look for more information to come for events happening in the new year and we hope that you can join us for one, or all, of these events!
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!
SAVE THE DATE!!
Virtual 5K - Stay Alive in 2025!!
We would love for you to join us for our virtual 5k this New Years! Run. Walk. Bike. Hike. Roll. Crawl. Whatever your mode, join us to "STAY ALIVE in 2025"!
Virginia Hands & Voices is pleased to partner with our fellow chapters from around the country for the “Staying Alive in 2025: Hands & Voices New Year Virtual 5K.” All proceeds generated from registrations and donations will go directly to our chapter, just be sure to choose "Virginia" when you register. Any funds raised will be used to directly impact families through local events!
You can complete the event anytime between Dec. 38-Jan. 1. Early bird registration is $30 and ends on Oct. 5th! This includes a super-soft race t-shirt, which will ship prior to the event. The first 500 to register also receive a custom diecast finisher’s medal. (There is also an option to donate if completing a 5K isn't one of your New Year's resolutions!)
As always, thank you for supporting your local H&V Chapter, and we hope you will consider joining us for this virtual fundraise!

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!
Have an Idea for an Event?
If you have an idea for an event, or know of one we might want to promote to our members, please email us at vahandsandvoices@gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you!
