January gives us a chance to get rolling on a new year for sure, but it also gives us a chance to help you learn a little something about an organization you have probably heard of, but might not know exactly what they do and why they do it.

Meet the AMBUCS! 

Simply put, AMBUCS helps create mobility and independence for people with disabilities with more than 5,500 members in 130 chapters across more than 30 states.

AMBUCS members enjoy the following benefits:

Social: Chapters provide fun, innovative service opportunities for people who want to improve their community. By working together, AMBUCS volunteers make their spare time go a long, long way.

Service: When someone joins AMBUCS they join a group of individuals who are ready to make a difference. AMBUCS local and national service programs generate intense satisfaction and pride.

Professional: As members work together, they contribute to chapter activities and goals while learning new skills that can pay lasting dividends in their professional lives. They also have the opportunity to make valuable contacts and develop essential leadership skills.
