Council de Manos
SLCC 2300
Abstract: Council de Manos was founded in 1991 as National Hispanic Council of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Our first conference in 1992 focused on Education, Community, and Family. Nearly 30 years later Education, Community, and Family continue to drive our services. NHCDHH was renamed to Council de Manos in 2015 which marked the beginning of the organization’s social justice movement. The mission has always been to end injustice through education, advocacy, and solidarity.
