Background
We are CODA Hong Kong, an organization dedicated to the need of Deaf Families, specifically Children of Deaf Adults (CODA). Since Deaf Adults have difficulties communicating with their kids and helping with their childrens' homework, due to language barrier and their little knowledge about hearing education.CODA tends to experience more stress, desperation due to little mutual understanding and their relunctance in communcating with their parents. Their parents have challenges understanding their kids' study needs and progress. We need tutors that show empathy and patience with such unique family structure, knowing the obstacles they face.
What we have
We have a group of existing volunteers with experience in helping CODA with their study, welcome to exchange experience. We have sign language interpreters to help with communicating with CODA's parents.
Why this is important
Your tutoring efforts and patience will help students in need to improve academically and achieve their goals. You could contribute to mending the differences between deaf and hearing communities.

Causes
What we do
CODA Hong Kong (Children of Deaf Adults) is the first of its kind in Asia. Established in 2013, its objectives are to help CODAs of Hong Kong understand and acknowledge their special identity as bilingual and bicultural, learn and develop potential skills, build a self-help community, and adopt positive outlooks of life. CODAs are the second generation of deaf people. We are therefore concerned about government policies of deaf welfare and sign language. Through education, advocacy, publication and academic research, we promote knowledge of sign language and deaf culture to the public and various stakeholders. We believe in building a society in which the deaf and the hearing integrate harmoniously.
