Everyone has something unique to offer—and chances are, your talents can do more good than you realize. Whether you’re great at organizing, connecting with others, leading a team, or simply showing up with a positive attitude, your time and skills can make a lasting impact on the lives of students with disabilities.
At the Special Education Foundation (SEF), we believe volunteers are the heart of our mission. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to give back, here’s how you can get involved:
Know What You Bring to the Table
Start by identifying your strengths. Are you a natural communicator? A tech-savvy problem-solver? A detail-oriented planner? No matter your background or experience, there’s a place for you, perhaps in our Program or Marketing & Development Committee.
Choose What You Enjoy
Giving your time should feel rewarding. Whether you love helping at events, working behind the scenes, or connecting one-on-one, volunteering with SEF offers a variety of opportunities that align with your interests. Our Women Leaders group is growing and room for more to get involved!
Ask for Input
Not sure where you shine? Ask a friend or coworker—they might see talents in you that you haven’t fully embraced yet. Your unique perspective could be exactly what we need.
Explore Community Needs
