Become an Advocate for Sight

As an ORBIS volunteer, or "Advocate for Sight," you can help us save sight in developing countries. ORBIS Advocates for Sight plan fundraising events and raise awareness of ORBIS's sight-saving work worldwide. Your involvement may encompass a one-time fundraising project or an ongoing effort to generate support and interest. We can help you come up with ideas, plan and publicize your event or create an online fundraising page. We can also supply you with pamphlets, flyers and posters.

For more information, send an e-mail to advocatesforsight@orbis.org or call 1.800.672.4787. Our Advocates for Sight program can only accommodate public awareness activities and fundraisers at this time. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate volunteer students on our programs.
