Volunteer With Us
By volunteering, you’ll make it possible for more blind and visually impaired members of your community to go hiking, ride a bicycle, play goalball and so much more. Please help us provide visually impaired people in the Washington area with opportunities to live healthy and active lives! Register as a volunteer today!
If you are so inclined, we could also use your financial support through a donation or annual membership dues. Dues-paying members can apply for sponsorships, buy discounted bike jerseys, and participate in our board elections. If you’d like to become a dues-paying member, pay $25 per year through one of these options. You can also make a donation of any amount through these same platforms:
1. Venmo: Our account is @MWABADC.

3. Email: Contact us at mwaba.inc@gmail.com for other payment options.

Do I need to commit to a regular schedule?
No, we do not require an ongoing commitment from our volunteers. You can volunteer at our events as frequently or infrequently as you like. But we’re confident that you’ll want to make it a regular habit after you see how rewarding it can be.
What will I be doing?
That depends on the activity you express interest in. Here are a few examples: On a hike, you would help guide fellow hikers. At goalball practice, we could use your help setting up the court or serving as a line judge. On a tandem bike ride, you would learn to ride as a “captain” on the tandem’s front seat, with a visually impaired partner riding as the “stoker” in the back seat. You can learn more about our activities here.
Do I need any previous experience?
Nope! We’ll provide any training, if applicable.
