HOW TO: CELEBRATE NATIONAL DEAF YOUTH DAY BY CHANEL GLEICHER BONHEYO

National Deaf Youth Day, established in 2015 and celebrated every year on March 6, was developed to recognize and bring together deaf and hard of hearing youth from schools for the deaf, mainstream programs, and colleges and universities. National Deaf Youth Day serves two purposes: 1) to celebrate the unique identity of deaf and hard of hearing people and their accomplishments and 2) to promote the idea that deaf and hard of hearing youth can do anything.

FACT 16

The date of March 6 was chosen for its proximity to Deaf History Month, which is held each year from March 13th through April 15.
