OUR PROGRAMS
The Holley Institute offers programs that empower Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and DeafBlind individuals and their families. From language learning to family connection and community engagement, our programs create meaningful experiences for all ages.
Family Weeks
Each summer at Holley Family Village, four themed Family Weeks bring families together to learn, connect, and strengthen communication skills. Each week focuses on a specific group—such as families with Deaf or Hard of Hearing children, Children of Deaf Adults, Deaf teens, or DeafBlind families—and includes fun activities, parent workshops, and shared experiences in a supportive community setting.
ASL Immersion Weekend
Introducing our pilot ASL Immersion Weekend for 2026! Perfect for those who can’t commit to a full week, this condensed program offers an intensive, hands-on experience over two days at Holley Family Village. Participants will engage in focused ASL practice, cultural activities, and community-building—all in a welcoming, immersive setting.
ASL Immersion Week
Spend a full week at Holley Family Village immersed in American Sign Language. This program is designed for individuals who want to build ASL fluency through hands-on practice, cultural activities, and community connection. Enjoy a supportive environment where learning goes beyond the classroom—experience Deaf culture, interactive workshops, and real-world signing opportunities.
Community Health and Literacy Program (CHLP)
CHLP is a free, home-based program pairing families with trained Deaf mentors for weekly visits during the school year. Mentors help families learn ASL, build literacy and communication skills, and strengthen connections at home. Families also gain access to community events, educational resources, and ongoing support.
Family Literacy Weekend
Held twice a year in spring and fall, this weekend program helps families build literacy and language skills through interactive activities, workshops, and family-centered learning.
Rent the Village
After summer programs end, Holley Family Village is available for rental by nonprofit organizations—perfect for retreats, workshops, and community events.
