Welcome

Global Reach Out Initiative (GRO) seeks to serve as a launching pad for the world's young deaf role models to work together, learn from one another, and inspire others.

GRO encourages deaf youth from nations spanning the globe to address social issues that limit deaf populations' opportunities to grow. Our delegates achieve this goal through team-building activities, workshop development, and leadership enrichment.

By tapping into the unrealized potential of many, GRO hopes to be the catalyst for an international community of deaf role models. We believe in the domino effect: if one delegate is inspired to work towards social change, many more will follow. Inspiration is contagious!

• GRO is extremely excited to announce that it is now a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization! If you have questions about this change to our oraganization's status, do not hesitate to contact us!

  Welcome to our newly revamped website!
