NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY

Starkey Hearing Foundation & American Society for Deaf Children

Delta Zeta’s National Philanthropy is Hearing & Speech.

Our two partnerships are the Starkey Hearing Foundation (with a focus on Starkey Hearing Institute) & American Society for Deaf Children.

The Starkey Hearing Foundation gives the gift of hearing to those in need by providing hearing aids throughout the United States and around the world.

When families join the American Society for Deaf Children (ASDC) & pay the $35 fee, they receive five 30-minute sessions with deaf adults. They host American Sign Language (ASL) weekends around the country where they bring in deaf experts to teach ASL to parents and deaf children. ASDC's dream is to create a Sesame Street style show in ASL to help young deaf children become kindergarten ready.

LOCAL PHILANTHROPY

Safe Berks

Our Local Philanthropy here at Kutztown is Safe Berks. Safe Berks is a center that acts as a safe haven for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. The center strives to increase awareness and put an end to abuse.

NATIONAL SERVICE PROJECT

SeriousFun Children's Network

Our national service project, SeriousFun Children's Network, serves as a support center to its 30 member camps & programs around the world to provide essential resources, funding, training, & assistance to help strengthen & grow their global family of camps.

The mission is to create opportunities for children and their families to reach beyond serious illness and discover joy, confidence, & a new world of possibilities, always free of charge

The Painted Turtle, our past National Service Project, is a part of SeriousFun Children's Network. With this partnership, we will keep The Painted Turtle as our home base.
