The USB does not solicit anyone’s help. But people do ask how they can help it, so we list here some of its needs.
One can serve the USB itself:
- by organizing and leading USB groups, or assisting a group leader;
- by serving as an (announced) correspondent to help remote USB members with their studies, etc., or to run USB study and/or discussion courses by correspondence or by using audiovisual technology.
- by publicizing the USB, in many different ways, such as with documents, publications, presentations (including audio or audio-visual ones) in many different media, courses, facilities, and meetings;
- by translating USB documents and publications;
- by helping to bring about Our Plans and Wishes (see under Communications);
- by supporting the USB financially with freely and voluntarily given donations. For while the USB does need funds for many of its activities, such as publishing, operating Web sites, hiring places to meet, and making itself known, it does not solicit contributions because it wants to be supported entirely by funds that are freely given. Those who wish to support the USB financially in this way may use the Donate button below or e-mail USB staff via Contact Us to explore other methods;
