RNID: For deaf and hard of hearing people.
Information for deaf and hard of hearing volunteers
Being deaf or hard of hearing is not a barrier to becoming a volunteer. Many of our volunteers are deaf or hard of hearing, and this gives you a unique insight into the issues faced by the people who use RNID services.
You can make a big difference to the lives of other deaf and hard of hearing people. This could be by working with RNID on one of our projects or working with other voluntary or community organisations.
Becoming a volunteer
If you would like to volunteer with another organisation we have developed information to help them recruit and support deaf and hard of hearing volunteers. It contains information on:
- barriers to deaf and hard of hearing people volunteering
- tips on recruiting deaf and hard of hearing volunteers
- advice on interviewing deaf and hard of hearing volunteers
- making their information accessible
- making their training accessible
- information on deafness and hearing loss
- tips on inducting deaf and hard of hearing volunteers
- details of where to get communication support.
For more information email our volunteer resource manager at volunteering@rnid.org.uk or fill in our volunteering enquiry form.
