\n\t\"DHH<\/a>Updated From Big Brothers Big Sisters – DFW<\/strong>
\n<\/h2>\n

\n\t“What if… every deaf or hard of hearing had someone special in their life?\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOur deaf and Hard of Hearing Initiative is looking for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Volunteers.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tInterested hearing\/signing adults are also needed as mentors.
\n\t 
\n\tDon’t sign but still interested in volunteering to be a Big? We couldn’t leave you out.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWe need hearing adults that don’t sign, too, for some hard of hearing Littles and Littles that have Cochlear implants.
\n\t 
\n\tPlease visit http:\/\/bbbstx.org\/dhh<\/a> or email dhh@bbbstx.org to get involved.
\n\t 
\n\tWe have Littles\/DHH youths on the waiting list from certain areas:
\n\t-Tarrant County
\n\t-Collin County\n<\/p>\n

\n\tDo you remember when you were growing up, the feelings you had, when you wished you had someone that you could communicate with who could understand you? We have Littles on the waiting list waiting to be understood.  For only a few hours a month, you can be that someone that to help the DHH youth feel special so come and join us!”
