VOLUNTEER

Volunteer with us or with another organization in your area. Assisted and independent living facilities always appreciate volunteer support, and folks with disabilities can also be found in almost every other walk of life. People who are homeless and/or living in poverty experience disability disproportionately, so volunteering at your local homeless resource center or soup kitchen can really make a difference. We are happy to help you find a volunteer opportunity in your area that will be a good fit for you. We would also LOVE to have you at our monthly member meetings! Our board meetings are open to the public, and we always leave time for public input or feedback. You can view the date and time of our next meeting on our event page: https://disabledrightsutah.org/events/.

FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA

We post regular updates on our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. If you’d like to help us make Utah a little more disability-friendly, follow us for updates about our actions, meetings, and events. We’ll make sure to share a variety of accessible opportunities for folks to get involved.
