HOOSIER BLACK DEAF ADVOCATES

Empowering BIPOC Deaf Hoosiers through Advocacy

WELCOME

Hoosier Black Deaf Advocates is a 501(c)(3) non-profit advocacy organization dedicated to serving members of the Deaf community. Our organization promotes leadership development, social equality, economic and educational opportunities, and cultural awareness. We advocate for civil rights and ensure equal access to education, employment, and social services.
