Interested in Volunteering? Start with Training! At OCSD, we warmly welcome non-deaf individuals who are eager to support the Deaf community through volunteering. Before joining as a volunteer, all applicants must complete a training program. This training provides essential knowledge about OCSD, Deaf culture, communication preferences, and addressing language-related challenges. We believe that understanding the community you serve is essential for creating meaningful impact. Our training gives you the skills to communicate respectfully and work effectively with Deaf individuals. Once you've completed the program, you'll be ready to volunteer in various roles and make a valuable contribution to our mission. A small fee is required for the training, and all proceeds directly support OCSD's programs and activities.
