Membership Building
The National Federation of the Blind is committed to providing our members, local chapters, and state affiliates with resources that will sustain and strengthen our work to increase opportunities for blind people. On this page you will find useful tips related to how to build your local chapter or state affiliate, membership recruitment, fundraising, leadership development, and advocacy. 

Jobs for Chapter Members

The most effective local chapters are those that ensure that each member can contribute in meaningful ways. Here are some suggestions for jobs for chapter members.

Fun Chapter Meeting Activities

The best chapters also feature a wide variety of activities during their meetings and eagerly embrace experimenting with new ideas.
