Jelnyelvi Oktatás és Fordítás Alapítvány

Founded in 2020, Jelnyelvi Oktatás és Fordítás Alapítvány is a non-governmental organisation based in Budapest, Hungary working on disability, education, justice & legal aid.

The Jelnyelvi Oktatás és Fordítás Alapítvány (JOF Alapítvány), founded in 2020 in Hungary, works to promote equal opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing people. It publishes information about deaf people, sign language and accessibility, and teaches Hungarian sign language through online courses. It offers sign language interpreting and translation of texts, audio and video, and helps institutions, companies and schools communicate accessibly with the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, including awareness-raising programmes for schools. Its services include a legal assistance service (JogSzerviz) and a sign-language dictionary and teaching cards. The foundation also produces sign-language content in cooperation with media and partners, such as live interviews and sign-interpreted radio broadcasts, and runs a webshop whose proceeds support its work.
