Empowerment Saturday

Learning. Connection. Community.

The Family and Child Empowerment Saturday Program brings students and families together for a day of learning, recreation, and connection.

Open to all St. Francis de Sales School for the Deaf students and their families, the program offers adapted recreational activities for students while caregivers participate in educational workshops, support groups, and family learning experiences designed to strengthen communication and confidence at home.

From sports and the arts to ASL classes, language-rich activities, and opportunities to connect with other families, Empowerment Saturday creates a welcoming space where every family belongs.
