We have a few different types of offerings: one-time workshops, 8 weeks class series, and a 4 week class mini-series. Our offerings are typically online but occasionally if your location is somewhere a teacher of ours can commute to, in person might be possible. We have a lot of flexibility about how many people can attend so feel free to check with us about how many participants you’d have.
Our online workshops are tailored towards businesses and organizations that are seeking to improve their understanding of the Deaf community and how to better serve them. Our workshops are led by our amazing instructors and will have interpreters present. You can expect lots of information, interactive activities, and a whole lot of laughter! Below, you will see our current offerings but do not hesitate to reach out to see if we can tailor our offering to better meet your needs (such as if you run a restaurant and want to learn restaurant service related vocabulary for example).
This workshop focuses on introducing the basics of American Sign Language and Deaf culture. Participants will learn interesting facts about our history, unlearn misconceptions about the Deaf community, how to interact appropriately with Deaf people, and develop a basic understanding of what ASL is all about (hint: it's not a visual form of English!).
Workshop length can be tailored to meet your needs, email hello@queerasl.com to inquire further.
This workshop is similar to our Introduction to ASL & Deaf culture workshop but with a queer twist! Participants will learn interesting facts about our history, unlearn misconceptions about the Deaf community, how to interact appropriately with Deaf people, some ASL basics, and 2SLGBTQIA+ related vocabulary.

We offer an 8 week course of ASL 101 (and higher levels) where participants would learn quite a lot about both ASL and Deaf culture. ASL 101 is good for people who have no previous (or very little) experience with ASL. This course covers learning the alphabet, fingerspelling, introductions, discussing likes & dislikes, making plans, our identities, where we live, etc. At our final class, participants take turns telling an autobiography about themselves in ASL. We would not have an interpreter present and the class would be totally voice off.
