Georgia Chapter of Jr. NAD
Leadership for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students, grades 8 to 12.
The Junior National Association of the Deaf (Jr. NAD) program offers Deaf and Hard of Hearing students in 8th through 12th grade in Georgia opportunities to develop leadership skills, learn and demonstrate citizenship, and meet and interact with students from other schools.
Students can participate in the Georgia Chapter of Jr. NAD, established by the Atlanta Area School for the Deaf (AASD), the Georgia School for the Deaf (GSD) and the Georgia Center of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (GCDHH). The chapter focuses on advocacy, attitude, awareness, commitment, cooperation, friendship, exchanging information, involvement and leadership skills.
The chapter offers meetings and many activities, such as community events and fundraisers. The skills and values members gain at meetings and events help them become future leaders and advocates in the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community.
