Mission

Deaf Planet Soul serves and empowers the Deaf and Hard of Hearing through programming in childhood literacy, women's self defense, job training, business development, social events and more.

Our long-term goal is to develop an all-inclusive community center in Chicago. This center will provide 60 jobs for the Deaf and will allow members of the community to grow in leadership and expertise. We envision a space run by directors and supervisors who are all Deaf, fluent users of American Sign Language. A place where we can nurture the growth of Deaf entrepreneurship, expanding the Deaf ecosystem while giving folks the opportunity to create their own businesses, art, music and more.

The Deaf community faces un- and under-employment rates at around 70%. It is our plan to change this through our community center. This space will include a fully operational hotel and the following programs:

Sports :
- Fitness
- Boxing
-MMA
-Martial Arts
- Weight Lifting
- Basketball Team
- Volleyball Team
- Floor Hockey Team

Education:
-ASL Program
-Adult & Youth Literacy
-Financial Literacy

The Studios:
- Music Studio
- Photography Studio
- Dance Studio
- Film Studio
- Movie Theater with open captions on screen

Aramark NPO Fundraising at Soldier Field is our primary method of fundraising. Our team has been working hard at this program for three years now––doing everything we can to raise the funds we need for this property. If you believe in us and want to help: this is it. Thanks in advance for your interest and support!
