Take a moment to look through the questions below—they’ll help you think about how you might want to get involved.
Everyone is welcome — Deaf, DeafBlind, hard of hearing, hearing, signing or non-signing. We’re always looking for enthusiastic people with a willingness to learn and support the community. ASL skills are an asset but not required.
We especially welcome:
Some of our common volunteer roles include:
Volunteer as much or as little as your schedule allows — whether it’s once a week, once a month, or just at special events. We are flexible and happy to match opportunities to your availability and interests.
As stated in our EAD bylaws, members are encouraged to volunteer at least once per year. Your support, even for one event, helps strengthen our community and keeps EAD’s programs running strong.
Do you know a EAD member who has made a big difference through volunteering, advocacy, or community leadership? We want to hear about them!
Each year, EAD proudly recognizes three Members of the Year and one Volunteer of the Year for their outstanding contributions to our community. Whether they’ve helped organize events, mentored others, or quietly offered support behind the scenes — we believe every contribution matters.
To nominate someone, please include their full name and either a video message or a written letter outlining their contributions and explaining why they should be recognized.
Nominate a member for recognition by filling out the online form. You can also use the contact form if needed, but the nomination form helps make sure we get all the right details.
