Students who are deaf or hard of hearing are invited to join Clarke Buddies, where they learn about self-advocacy, develop leadership skills and have fun together!
Clarke Buddies is a fun opportunity to meet, get to know and connect on a regular basis with other children who are deaf or hard of hearing. At our in-person and virtual meet-ups, students between the ages of 6 – 17 share advice and experiences, participate in team-building activities and build a sense of community.
Meet-ups are led by experienced teachers of the deaf and young adults with hearing loss, and consist of organized activities and social time. Older students can also choose to mentor younger buddies, gaining leadership experience while being a role model to a younger student. Clarke Buddies take place throughout the school year, alternating locations between Clarke Boston and Clarke Northampton.
