Subject: [Community-service] Mission Statement text

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.
