Thank you so much for this opportunity today! I learned a boatload in only 60 minutes and Matt [of Deafinitely Dope] was the best teacher I could have imagined. This made a huge impact on me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

In partnership with Matt Maxey & his team at Deafinitely Dope, we provided six months of FREE Sign Language classes for Budtenders & the cannabis industry. We learned general & cannabis-related words and phrases that helped us better connect with our coworkers, customers, community members & friends who are d/Deaf or Hard of hearing.
Now it’s time to bring back classes - you’re invited to join us!
