Do I Need a Background Check to Work with Children with Limb Differences?
Programs leaders at hospitals, schools, camps, and with some youth organizations require youth and adult leaders to have training to work with vulnerable populations and a current background check. Not all members of the community will seek this recognition, and it will not be required of volunteers in the general community.

Call for Translators
e-NABLE is a global organization. But there is one great challenge: there are many languages spoken by e-NABLE volunteers. Most literature is written in English, but our volunteers speak Spanish, French, Turkish, Arabic, and Korean. If you are bilingual, you can help. Your language skills do not need to be perfect - anything you can do can help. If you are willing to help with translation, please click "Get Involved."
