About
Hands On is a UCLA student club for practicing American Sign Language and learning about Deaf culture. It began in 2011 as HEARD (Humans Establishing Awareness Regarding Deafness) and was later renamed; after UCLA started offering ASL courses in 2012, the club moved from teaching signs to giving students a place to practice and socialize in ASL. Past activities include Deaf coffee chats, fundraisers and hosting a Deaf comedian on campus, and the club shares resources such as free online ASL lessons, a list of Deaf businesses and Deaf films.
