Be a Part of What Makes Us Great!

Get Involved at Overbrook School for the Blind

At Overbrook School for the Blind, community involvement has been at the heart of our mission since 1832. Volunteers and partners help bring our programs to life — from reading with students and assisting at special events to supporting our athletic teams, arts programs, and fundraising initiatives. Every hour you share and every act of service helps empower students with visual impairments to thrive in school, in the community, and beyond.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds make a difference at OSB every day. Opportunities include:

  • Classroom Support – Assist teachers with projects, reading activities, or art and music lessons.

  • Campus Events – Help with family fun days, the Pancake Breakfast, Designer Bag Bingo, and other community gatherings.

  • Fundraising & Development – Join us in spreading the word about OSB’s mission and helping us reach new supporters.

  • Corporate & Group Service Days – We welcome businesses, civic organizations, and schools to participate in meaningful group volunteer experiences.

Why Volunteer?

When you volunteer at OSB, you become part of a vibrant community that celebrates ability, independence, and joy. You’ll meet inspiring students, connect with dedicated staff, and witness the impact of inclusive education in action.
