volunteer

Volunteers help to make the League for the Blind and Disabled a great organization because it is with your help that we help the League’s consumers remain independent.  How can you share your time or talent? Listed below are several opportunities to help give back to the community.  All volunteers are considered to be part of staff and will receive a job description and training.

Interested?  Have other ideas? Give Mark Williams , Volunteer Coordinator, a call and let her know of your interest and request an application.
