Texas Deaf/Hard of Hearing Mentor Program
Good afternoon. We oversee our statewide Deaf Mentor Program for families with children, birth to three years old, who are deaf or hard of hearing. We have many families who utilize the mentoring services, and even more who want to receive our services. With that being said, we need to grow our team of mentors. We are seeking your help with passing this onto the community.
We have this social media post going out on our platforms – Facebook, Instagram and Twitter – at 1:30 PM this afternoon and would love to have you share it on your pages.
Recommended Social Post Language:
SOC is seeking qualified individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to join our mentoring team as independent contractors. Please help them find the hidden gems! This work is not a full-time job but typically 1-3 hours a week.
Qualifications required: must have access to a laptop and internet at home, must be fluent in American Sign Language, be comfortable or have experience working with families, excellent communicators, and willingness to learn, stay on top of current best practices in early language development for children with a hearing difference. Interested individuals are required to attend and complete a 3-day SKI HI Deaf Mentor training with us.
