To sustain our important work, we need to expand our community of friends and supporters. Here are a few quick ways you can help.
1) Share your knowledge
Share your special skills, interests and talents. Join one of our committees and help BCS in marketing, fundraising, programming, investments, government relations, new initiatives, board development or volunteer services and much more. You may want to join our Business Advisory Council, composed of businesspeople who hire our clients and promote job training and placement for adults with disabilities.
2) Spread the Word
Help open doors for BCS in the community. Or, consider becoming a BCS Volunteer Ambassador. Invite your friends to a future BCS 360. Host a gathering of your friends or associates—we'll bring BCS 360 to you!
