The guiding principle of the DeafBlind Community Access Network of New Jersey, Inc. is “For DeafBlind, By DeafBlind.” It is not just a statement — it is the foundation of our work.

​

DB CAN NJ is a federally recognized nonprofit led in partnership with deafblind individuals. Together, we provide training, networking, social opportunities, and community education that foster connection, leadership, and access.

​

Because many deafblind people experience social isolation and limited social circles, our work creates opportunities to build meaningful connections, broaden networks, and support greater independence and well-being. At the same time, the broader community becomes more informed, engaged, and prepared to offer meaningful inclusion and appropriate services.

​

We charge no membership fees or dues. Our work is sustained entirely through grants and the generosity of friends and community supporters who believe in access, equity, and deafblind leadership.
