Deaf Connect delighted to support Deaf Youth Australia!
Deaf Connect is excited to have sponsored Whoosh Camp in October!
This multi-day event featured many workshops and activities, including a leadership discussion with Vanessa Alford and Katrina Lancaster-Maggs, who shared their journey from founding Deaf Youth Australia in 2014.
Overall, 40 enthusiastic Deaf youths came together to share laughter, build new bonds and develop leadership skills. Thank you to everyone who made this camp a success!
We’re proud to support Deaf Youth Australia and look forward to more events with this amazing group.
