Support the Opening of PDX's Sign Language Café!

Welcome to CymaSpace’s new Sign Language Cafe - Where Communication Knows No Bounds!

CymaSpace is on a mission to create a unique space in the heart of Portland, Oregon, that goes beyond serving delicious coffee and scrumptious treats. Our dream is to establish the city's first Sign Language Cafe, a haven for fostering connections between the deaf and hearing communities.

Why a Sign Language Cafe?

Imagine a place where conversations transcend language barriers, where the rich tapestry of sign language weaves together diverse stories and experiences. The Sign Language Cafe aims to be that place – a welcoming hub where deaf and hearing individuals can come together, share stories, and build friendships.

Our Vision:

Community Connection: The cafe will be a vibrant meeting point for deaf and hearing patrons alike, fostering a sense of unity and understanding within the community.

Safe Space: We envision a safe haven where deaf individuals feel empowered, valued, and respected, free from communication barriers that can be prevalent in traditional public spaces.

Cultural Celebration: Beyond coffee and pastries, the Sign Language Cafe will celebrate deaf culture, hosting events, workshops, and performances that showcase the beauty and diversity of sign language.

Why Your Support Matters:

To turn this vision into reality, we need your help. We're seeking to raise $20,000 to cover startup costs, including sign language training for staff, accessibility features, and creating a warm, inclusive atmosphere. Your contribution will not only help us open the doors to the Sign Language Cafe but will also play a vital role in creating a more connected and understanding community.
