Aid the Silent

Aid the Silent To glorify God by empowering deaf and hard-of-hearing children and teens through access to communication, education, resources, and community.

Aid the Silent was created to help thousands around the world find information about living in today’s society as a deaf or hard-of-hearing individual, to learn about Jesus’ word and to inspire people to embrace their differences. Aid the Silent is dedicated to equip deaf children/teens with the necessary tools and resources to help them find personal success. Through commitment and prayer, Aid th

We raise the necessary funds to provide HOH/deaf children/teens the tools and resources to help them find personal success.

We provide six areas of resources:

Meet Mary Manning – one of our 2025–2026 Philip and Barbara Green – Aid The Silent Student Scholarship recipients!
Mary is a former Deaf Education teacher in San Antonio who’s now pursuing her Doctor of Audiology at the University of Texas at Dallas.🥳

As someone who wears both a cochlear implant and hearing aid, she brings personal experience and professional passion to her future career as an educational audiologist.

From teaching in the classroom to volunteering with Aid The Silent and Deaf YoungLife, Mary has spent years empowering deaf and hard-of-hearing students—and she’s just getting started.

“I bridge both worlds—education and healthcare—with the goal of helping young people thrive, not just cope.”
Mary plans to work in under-resourced schools, helping close the gap in hearing healthcare and championing better access to technology in classrooms. We’re proud to support her mission to give back to the very communities that shaped her. 💖🤟

What makes Deaf Young Life special? It’s not just the fun or the games — it’s the consistency. The way leaders keep showing up, week after week, month after month, in the lives of deaf and hard-of-hearing teens.

For many students, this is their first time experiencing a teen program that communicates in their language — a place where they don’t have to play catch-up or sit on the sidelines. This year's camp was full of joy, connection, and a deep sense of belonging.

We’re so grateful for every teen who came, every leader who served, and every person who makes this community possible.🤟
