The National Federation of the Blind welcomes all blind people, parents of blind children, blind students, those losing vision, and more. We are a family of members and friends that knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. You can live the life you want.

The best way to become a member of the National Federation of the Blind is to attend a chapter or division meeting in your local area.

Contact your state affiliate president today.
As a member, you will have:
- Access to national and local resources and information
- The support of a powerful community
- Connections to blind mentors
- Access to training
- National and local NFB voting rights
- A subscription to our monthly e-newsletter
Introduction to the Organized Blind Movement Calls
The National Federation of the Blind invites blind people to learn more about what it means to be a member of the organized blind movement and the benefits of joining our community. Take advantage of this opportunity to hear from active members and leaders on the myths and uncertainties of the Federation. Geared toward people who are unfamiliar with our organization, these calls will cover membership, philosophy, and purpose.
The one-hour-long calls are scheduled for the following dates:
- Wednesday, November 6, 2024 at 8:00 p.m. eastern
Sign up for the Introduction to the Organized Blind Movement call today. For questions, contact [email protected] or call 410-659-9314, extension 2401. We look forward to your participation!
Member at Large
If you live in an area that doesn’t have a local chapter or division, or if other factors prevent you from attending a chapter or division meeting, you can join the National Federation of the Blind as a member-at-large. While this option might not include as many networking and friendship-building opportunities, joining the National Federation of the blind as a member at large will give you:
- National voting rights
- A subscription to our monthly e-newsletter
You can become a member at large by filling out our member-at-large application and submitting for national board approval.
