Are there any employment opportunities or other ways to become involved with MNCDHH?

Employment opportunities at MNCDHH are rare. When there is a job opening, we send out a newsletter announcement and cross-post it on our website, Facebook, and Twitter. If you have not subscribed to our newsletters, be sure to subscribe today! 

Visit our Get Involved page on our website. There is information on subscribing to our newsletters, joining the board, attending Lobby Day, voting, finding your legislator, and to events to attend such as our board meetings or events we are hosting or sponsoring.

There are several other ways of getting involved.

Your community organization

MNCDHH mainly works with community organizations. We encourage you as an individual to get involved with the community organization that represents your interests. 

• Minnesota Association of Deaf Citizens (MADC): visit the MADC membership page to become a member. 
• Minnesota DeafBlind Association (MDBA): email mdba1979@gmail.com. In the subject heading, put down "Join MDBA" or "MDBA Membership" or something similar.
• Hearing Loss Association of America - Twin Cities chapter: visit the HLAA-TC membership page to become a member.
• Minnesota Hands & Voices, an organization for parents and families, has volunteer opportunities and events: visit the MNH&V volunteer page to start.

Voting and your legislators

Exercise your voting rights and contact your legislators. MNCDHH will soon begin providing voter outreach workshops! If you would like MNCDHH to provide a workshop for you and your friends or for an organization you are with, please contact Jessalyn Akerman-Frank to schedule one. Her email is jessalyn.akerman-frank@state.mn.us. 

Lobby Day

You can also participate in the 2019 Deaf, DeafBlind & Hard of Hearing Lobby Day on Wednesday, March 6, 2019. This is a biennial community event hosted by multiple organizations and identities. On this day, you can attend the rally, take "Meet Your Legislator" training, and meet with your legislators in person. We will need volunteers on this day and will send out a call for volunteers closer to the date.

Surveys

We are in the last year of MNCDHH's current five-year strategic plan and will soon begin surveying the Minnesota community to find out what you would like us to work on for the next 5 years. Please participate in this important process. Your voice makes a difference.
