There are many volunteer opportunities and we welcome your help!!

Host an RFB&D Learning Through Listening Hour in your community or in your office
One merely invites neighbors, co workers, church friends, any group of friends and business associates to learn more about the RFB&D mission and the need to open doors in their community to support the students in their community who are living with a print disability. This can be held in a local library, church parlor, meeting room, office or in your home. All you will need to serve is something to sip on (soda or water). We have more than 55,200 students in SC who are in desperate need of the tools that support their learning style and I'd love your help in spreading the word by hosting an LTL Hour.

Contact local clubs to book an RFB&D presentation
I'd love your help in contacting local civic clubs to book RFB&D as a speaker/presenter. Do you know anyone who is a member of a Sertoma Club, Lions Club, Kiwanis Club, Rotary Clubs or Garden Club? Many church circles and other civic groups are looking for monthly speakers too. Perhaps you know people who are members of these clubs or perhaps you are a member of one of these types of clubs or groups. Could you help in your community by opening the door for RFB&D to be a presenter?

Become an Outreach Volunteer
Educational Outreach opportunities include assisting at Parent Nights, working at conferences, phone calling campaigns, posting flyers in the community, and preparing training packets to be passed on to members and potential members. CONTACT: Jeanette Lystlund, Regional Membership Services Director, jslystlund@rfbd.org or 866-887-7323.

Plan a special event in your community to not only build awareness but perhaps raise funds to provide RFB&D memberships to those in need living in your community
We did this in Columbia in October and raised close to $500. The awareness factor was huge and consequently we have received many calls from interested parents.

Be an RFB&D writer
We are always looking for people who are great writers to interview members and then write articles or help them write a testimonial to submit to local papers and magazines.

Help to open doors in your community by introducing us to people who have a corporate community mission to support those living with a print disability or education initiatives
We are looking for businesses and individuals to provide funding to support the mission of RFB&D or to adopt-a-text. Adopting a Text is a great opportunity for local Sunday School Classes or businesses that are looking to give a gift during the holidays.

Does your company, club or organization need to have their printed materials in an accessible format to meet ADA laws?
Printed materials will be accessible to an important market segment and employees. It is estimated that over 5 million Americans have visual impairments and that 1 out of 5 Americans has a learning disability. Through RFB&D's Custom Recording Service, businesses will fulfill their legal requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act to provide accommodations for people who cannot read standard print. We can record annual reports, brochures, newsletters, client materials, proposals, and employee manuals. Our rates are competitive and RFB&D will use the revenue to support production of student textbooks for our members. If you would like to spread the word, we can provide you with our custom recording brochures.
