Community Partners
This project benefits from a wide variety of local and national partners.
Our central partner is Vancro Integrated Interpreting Services, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business led by ASL interpreters and Deaf individuals. Vancro supports Pathway to Practice by connecting interpreter education with real-world practice. Through its national network of interpreters and community partners, Vancro helps the project reach interpreters across the country and supports applied learning and ongoing professional development.
Deaf Seniors of America (DSA) is a national organization dedicated to serving the needs and advancing the rights of older deaf and hard of hearing individuals across the United States. DSA shares insight into the experiences of older deaf adults and helps spread the word about project resources through its national network.
Faculty and staff from several Northeastern University units bring complementary expertise to this project as collaborating partners, including the School of Law, the Ethics Institute, and the Library’s Digital Repository Service, which will host, archive, and ensure lasting public access to project materials.
We are also collaborating with our fellow grantees.
