Upcoming Events

HOLD THE DATE!

Hello, Codas! Did you know there is a day for you and me? Deaf Parents Day is the last Sunday of April, and the CODA International Board is celebrating with two virtual parties on Sunday, 27 April 2025, one at 9a-12p ET, and 9p-12a ET.

Come join us! Exchange stories, see one another’s faces, and honor our Coda heritage. There’s lots of ways to celebrate… you can get local Codas together in person, check out a Deaf event, or create your own unique way of acknowledging your Deaf parent(s).

We’ll be sending out more information about Deaf Parents Day soon- keep your eyes peeled! Swag is also available, if you’d like some Coda merch for the big day. Feel free to show off pictures of our families, using #DeafParentsDay and #CODAInternational, to witness the epic variety we share in the Coda community. It’s our day to be loud, and we are waiting to see you.

Chisel it into your calendars!!

Merry Deaf Parents Day,
