We need differently abled folks to test out paths, train ushers and consult on historic structure access. Folks with mobility impairment, low vision, balance concerns, assistance devices and other challenges wanted. Have you ever wondered if there were barriers to enjoying our activities or events? Would you enjoy working with a fun group of volunteers to make access a little easier? Check out this volunteer opportunity at our Differently Abled Cadre Meet and Greet. Companions and caring, friendly people with a passion for improving differently abled people's experience are also accepted. However, unkind and overly judgemental individuals need not apply! This is group needs to work together, be creative and problem solve. Questions can be directed to jenni.sunshine@tucsonvalleyofthemoon.net
