Family Network for Deaf Children Membership

Re: MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL DATES

 

It’s that time of year when all FNDC/DYT memberships expire (June 30, 2021)!  The new/renewal membership year begins July 1, 2021, and goes until June 30, 2022. 

 

Our membership fee is only $10.00 for the year.

 

Our Board of Directors feels that families benefit greatly from our low-cost Deaf Youth Today summer programs and all the information and articles we keep you up to date on. For this reason, becoming a member of FNDC shows your belief in our organization, is valued and vital.

 

As a non-profit society, we are required to have formal memberships. Membership lets us know that you believe in what we are doing for deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children, youth and their families in British Columbia!

 

FNDC has been the catalyst to many of the past changes and services that families currently receive and benefit from. We continue to "inform and educate" by writing letters, consulting and sharing information to ensure that DHH children, youth and their families have access to quality ASL services, sign language classes, counselling, family support, better TV/movie theatre captioning & government videos, Video Relay Services, improved literacy, the right to qualified interpreters, post secondary opportunities. The list is endless (and the work ongoing) when it comes to access and inclusion for our deaf and hard of hearing children!

 

Your membership says you believe in what we are doing and is an indicator that you support us! FNDC’s Summer Program: Deaf Youth Today (DYT) provides social/recreational programs for deaf children, leadership opportunities for deaf youth and is the leading employer of deaf students during the summer months.

 

We keep our costs to a minimum by working from home offices, sharing a FNDC cellphone and applying for grants to employ deaf students as DYT summer staff. We do this because we believe that parents make huge financial sacrifices (ie gas costs, significant travel time, time off work) driving your children daily to attend our DYT Summer Program. Your membership fees and donations help us with the costs incurred in website maintenance, workshop planning, newsletter production and our DYT Summer Program.

 

We are extremely grateful for donations. If you wish to receive our newsletter and ongoing email updates please make sure that you add fndc@fndc.ca to your "safe sender’s list" and email address book.

Thank you for your continued support!
