JACIL
- ...................
- Thanks to the hard work of volunteers,
newsletters are copied, collated, stapled, labeled, and stamped
for mailing each month. Our newsletter is produced into regular
print, large print, Braille, and can also be sent to subscribers
by e-mail. We have volunteers who help out with other types of
mailings as well.
We have a lot of volunteers who answer our phones and greet visitors
to JACIL.
Volunteers assist with clerical type duties such as proofreading,
folding brochures, and data entry.
Volunteers help with odd jobs around the office, including changing
light bulbs and fixing things.
Other duties preformed by volunteers include acting as mentors
to people with disabilities, assisting with support/activity
groups and workshops, performing clerical duties, reading grocery
ads onto tape for those with visual disabilities, dressing up
our display windows, assisting with presenting disability awareness
activities to the community, participating in parades, helping
with voting projects, and much more.

One of the major functions Volunteers serve at JACIL is that
of clerical help. Each month JACIL produces and distributes hundreds
of newsletters and other mass mailings. Volunteers can do anything
from answer phones to stuff envelopes, staple pages or fold newsletters.
These are only the tasks performed on a daily basis. Special
projects, help in the resource library, filing, and data entry
are also jobs that clerical volunteers may do.

groups for persons with disabilities. We encourage any volunteeers
with disabilities to join our support groups. Please enquire
