Volunteers Fulfill Our Mission

Hearing Loss Association of America Florida (HLAA-FL), a Voluntary non-profit organization, is dedicated to the well-being of the more than 3-million Floridians of all ages and communication styles with hearing loss.

 

HLAA Florida Association fulfills its mission because of the dedication of its corps of volunteers at the state and local levels across Florida. HLAA (FL) volunteers are people with hearing loss, their families and friends, and those in the professional community.

 

Our volunteers, in turn, are rewarded with the experience of making a clear and dramatic impact on the lives of people with hearing loss. We hope your shared experiences enriches your lives as it has our organization and those we serve.

Do you want to make a difference in people’s lives?

Have a few hours to spare? The Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA) needs you. Look here for ways to get involved. For more information, email us at volunteer@hla-fl.org.

 

You can put your time and talents to work in many ways. Find your niche and realize you are not alone with your hearing loss while you help out the leading organization for people with hearing loss.

 

There are 48 million Americans who have significant hearing loss. It is the third most prevalent health issue in older adults behind arthritis and heart disease. Hearing loss is invisible and many with hearing loss do not seek help in a timely manner.

 

Are you concerned about those who cannot hear?

 

We are a dynamic group of board members committed to MAKING HEARING LOSS APPARENT throughout Florida.

 

We meet quarterly for approximately six hours and support educational venues and social gatherings statewide. This is your opportunity to join our team and donate your time, energy, experience and expertise to help make a difference. Together we will raise awareness in communities, educate and support others on their hearing loss journey, and MAKE HEARING LOSS CLEAR!

 

Thank You to Our Volunteers Throughout the State of Florida!


Thanks to all who have worked on behalf of HLAA and people with hearing loss. Since 1979, HLAA National has enjoyed the volunteer service of thousands giving their time and talents. The HLAA Chapters and State Organizations are wholly volunteer led and run.

 

The HLAA Board of Trustees are 100 percent volunteer driven. Because of your millions of volunteer hours, we can fulfill HLAA’s mission of providing information, education, support and advocacy.
