SIGN LANGUAGE FOR CANNABIS
The Movement To Infuse Sign Language Into The World Of Cannabis
“Okay. AMAZING. 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!”
— David Tart, Marketing Manager (Curaleaf)
DISPENSARIES & FRIENDS
Become A Partner Of Sign Language For Budtenders Classes
Inviting Cannabis Professionals, Dispensaries, Brands & More!
The only way this happens is with you. This community-wide need calls for a community wide-response. That’s why we’re doing things differently. Instead traditional sponsors, we’re inviting partners to help relaunch Sign Language For Budtenders classes!
Once we reach our initial goal of 20+ Founding Partners, classes will restart. From there we will collaboratively grow the movement together.
How To Become A Partner:
Step 1. APPLY (welcoming individuals, businesses & more)
Step 2. CONTRIBUTE (sponsorship minimums on application forms)
Step 3. ADVOCATE (media kit will be emailed to you)
Step 4. LEARN (time to learn Sign Language!)

“Remember: If you are building something and it is not accessible for, to and by all - then that means it is actually not accessible at all.”

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!
Financial Transparency
We want this program to belong to the community. That’s why we’ll be posting financial transparency reports once classes relaunch.
