This study intends to explore the benefits of American Sign Language (ASL) education through service learning for high school students and the communities in the United States. This qualitative case research grounded in critical multicultural educational perspectives uses triangulated data from virtual interviews with key stakeholders such as educators, administrators, and community leaders as well as documents regarding existing policies and practices on ASL education and service learning. The findings of this study will fill the gap in the literature with regards to the educational and cultural implications of ASL programs in secondary education and contribute to raising awareness of the value for and impact of teaching and learning ASL as part of inclusive education for social justice and further to motivating schools to join the movement.
