[Job-Discussions] NFB BUILD Program

[Justin Williams]

The NFB is a volunteer organization for the most part.

 

I've worked as a volunteer with a center for  independent living and got a part time job out of it.

 

If you don't want to work for the build team, then don't.

 

But I for one think it is a great opportunity.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Justin

Go look up the definition of volunteer.  Volunteering is not a bad thing at all, and I will say that I have been on the BUILD Team for some time now,and enjoy it.  Also, those of you who are hating on the NFB about this should not even be on this list in my personal opinion.  Also, those of you who are spouting off this nonsense do not understand that there are a ton of organizations who use volunteers some of which I have volunteered with such as Habitat for Humanity and a Wildlife Refuge.  Other organizations that have volunteers are hospitals, and many small towns and rural communities have all volunteer fire departments and EMS agencies like where I currently live.  So, volunteering is not a bad thing like some of you try to make it out to be,and I will say this now, I will eventually be looking for volunteers to help out with my coffee business when the timing is right, but the two posts I have seen so far against volunteering on the BUILD Team, those two people can forget it completely.

I don't know why is it exactly you expect blind people to work for you for free pretty much.

and since we are on the topic, why does a group who advocates for everyone else to hire the blind, and spouts off on why blind people should not be worked for free. want to get blind people to work for free?

Dear List Members,

 

The NFB BUILD program is a volunteer opportunity for blind people of all skill levels to assist in accessible evaluation and design.  Even though it is not a paid opportunity, there are occasional awards, and it could look good on your resume.  Here is the link if you’re interested:

Best wishes,
