Sign Language Interpreting Services, Inc

Deaf Kansans struggle getting legal help. The state is trying to change that The Communication Access Fund has $10,000 to help hire interpreters and other communication services to help the deaf and hard of hearing speak with their lawyers. But not many attorneys know about the fund.

Deadline Approaching! We're excited to see the designs start rolling in. Reminder to send us your submissions for the Orpheum 1st Street Mural Project by 5pm this Friday, August 5. The winner receives a $1,000 prize and an opportunity to be featured at our First Friday 100th Anniversary Kick Off Party on September 2.
