Volunteers for the VBIDA

Volunteerism is a great way to support VBIDA!

There are many opportunities throughout the year to volunteer your time.

Some volunteer needs are helping at our conferences, selling books, passing out materials, or helping participants find their sessions.

You may also volunteer at fund raisers, Feast & Forums, and Knowledge Meetings.

If you are interested in volunteering, please email us at info@vbida.org

VBIDA is the Virginia Branch of the parent association called the International Dyslexia Association. This organization is dedicated to the dissemination of information and services to individuals and families impacted by the challenges of dyslexia. Our mission is to create hope, possibility and partnership to address dyslexia and its characteristics.

Members in the VBIDA include professionals, administrators, teachers, parents, and individuals with an interest in Dyslexia and its impact on literacy skills. Reading and writing do not come easily to those with Dyslexia, and the organization supports the knowledge and programs that are known to assist the acquisition of reading and written language skills. We believe all individuals have the right to achieve to their potential. To this end, we strive to improve public awareness and understanding of Dyslexia. We provide information in current research and resources about Dyslexia and the organization disseminates knowledge about effective teaching strategies and academic programs for those who require them.
