What We Do
In 1998, SDGCR, Inc was established with the goal of providing professional consultation, training, mentoring and at-cost or no-cost ASL/English interpreting services.

The organization approaches its work by acknowledging that those that use American Sign Language for daily communication should be the leaders in educating others about their community and their language needs. Our goal therefore, is to serve as a bridge between those that use ASL and those that do not.  We do this by providing information, resources and at-cost or free interpreting services to those in need. We strive to collaborate directly with the deaf community, upholding professional and ethical behavior.
