Even more so than other chapters, college-based chapters face this challenge constantly, with a complete turnover every 4 years, as students graduate.

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. People seeking to participate in certain programs will need to have these credentials as requisite requirements of the project partners or facilities managers.

Call for Translators
e-NABLE is a global organization. But there is one great challenge: there are many languages spoken by e-NABLE volunteers.
