Bridging Connections: NJDBCC is a collective effort led by Ava’s Voice Inc. and Shore O&M. The mission of Bridging Connections: NJ’s DeafBlind Community Council is to foster collaboration and communication between individuals who are DeafBlind, their families, community organizations, and agency/service providers. The Council will serve as an inclusive advisory body, bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders committed to meeting the needs of our community members.
Over the years, Ava has served in a leadership position on student government in her local school district. As a high school student she valued the leadership opportunities provided through NJASC. After presenting at the Leadership Training Conference held at The College of New Jersey, Ava was encuraged by her peers to apply to be the next state charity. Each year, student leaders at our member schools raise thousands of dollars for a special State Charity that is chosen by their State Officers each April. Ava’s Voice is proud to be the 2024-2025 NJASC State Charity.
This opportunity aligned perfectly with our mission to educate school communities. Over the years, Ava and USHbrothers, Ethan and Gavin, presented to local school communities to educate their peers and raise awareness across the state. These experiences also helped them develop age appropriate skills to build thier confidence and increase their understanding about their diagnosis and needs over the years.
Having the support of student councils across the state expands our reach to raise awareness about Usher syndrome. Thank you NJASC members!
