Membership opportunities may include helping with our pop-up coffee stands, joining online or in-person social meetups, or participating in B3 programs. Whether you identify as disabled, neurodivergent, or as an ally, you’re invited to experience belonging as a member of B3.There is no cost or formal commitment to become a member — we believe in building community as organically as possible.
At B3, we embrace a “no hierarchy” model between people with and without disabilities. People with disabilities hold leadership roles at every level of the organization. We believe in doing with, not for, the disability community — working together in pursuit of true equity and inclusion.
