What we’re about
We are a group of Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Signers who meet every week to chat in American Sign Language. This group is open to people who speaks American Sign Language. We especially encourage people to come to our group who want to HAVE FUN while socializing with all sorts of different people! This is not a study group nor class! It's a great group for practicing having real conversations in American Sign Language.
We are a bunch of people who speaks American Sign Language, and who want to get better and better at signing. Some of us want to become interpreters or are in interpreting programs. Others work with Deaf people or have Deaf family members. We have American Sign Language students, pros, and everything in between. Some of us are Deaf and just want to hang out with other fun Deaf, hard-of-hearing, or hearing people who sign. Essentially, we are a social group brought together because we love American Sign Language and we want to have a place where we can socialize, get to know one another, and practice our American Sign Language skills.
Boston Area American Sign Language Meetup welcomes and celebrates diversity in our membership! We do not tolerate audism, racism, sexism, homophobia, or any other type of discriminatory behavior at our meetings.
