What is SOCAA?

SOCAA is a not-for-profit organization in Southern Oregon that collaborates with cultural arts organizations to develop and strengthen accessibility programs, so that everyone can enjoy all that the Rogue Valley has to offer.

Who can benefit from SOCAA's services?

SOCAA’s services are beneficial for cultural arts organizations who are wanting to provide access services, but lack the resources and expertise to make it happen.
