[Community-service] Mission Statement text

[Darian Smith]

The purpose of The Community Service Group is to promote the positive philosophy of the National Federation of the Blind through community service and advocacy. We acknowledge the positive effects that community service and service learning have on self, community, and country from the blind person's perspective. This group will work diligently to promote and encourage community service and service learning at the local, state, and national levels of the NFB and will utilize this method to advance the goals of full integration on the basis of equality for the blind of this nation. The Community Service Group will implement its mission by: 1. coordinating service projects that develop confidence in blindness and the alternative techniques that the blind utilize, 2. creating workshops and trainings that develop competent leaders, 3. serving as a resource for the blind and sighted alike about the service field with an emphasis on how the blind can contribute and 4. Promoting the NFB philosophy through action and service.
