DBL Volunteer Team

Our DBL Volunteer Team uses their positivity and creativity to help promote eating disorder awareness and support. Members may be asked to send fundraisers to their family members, walk a few miles, join a Zoom meeting, send an inspirational video to a patient in ED treatment, or participate in game nights! Volunteers also help us advocate for certain policies/standards within the dance community. DBL volunteers should be communicative and collaborative, and should have/know how to utilize their connections in order to increase DBL's donations. Our DBL Volunteer Team also may make cards (E-cards and handmade), crafts, and packages that we send to our partner ED treatment centers. Please note that we do filter artwork to ensure that it aligns with the policies of our partner treatment centers.
