Thank you for continuing your commitment to the National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey (NFB of NJ) Central Jersey Chapter. By renewing your membership, you reaffirm your dedication to advocacy, equality, and opportunity for blind and low vision individuals across Middlesex County and surrounding areas. Together, we are raising expectations, removing barriers, and creating opportunities for blind people throughout New Jersey.
The NFBNJ Central Jersey Chapter provides a welcoming space for individuals who are blind, have low vision, or are allies of the blind community. Our chapter offers valuable networking opportunities, mentorship, and access to resources that foster independence and confidence. Members meet monthly, both via Zoom and in person, on the third Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m. (except on holiday weekends). Meetings include guest speakers, community updates, and discussions that help members stay informed, inspired, and connected.
The in-person portion of our meetings is held at: Highland Park Public Library 31 North 5th Avenue Highland Park, NJ 08904
For those arriving via NJ Transit AccessLink, the cross street is Raritan Avenue (Route 27), and the location is fully AccessLink accessible. Whether attending virtually or in person, members are welcomed into a supportive environment that values inclusion, respect, and shared growth.
The National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting advocacy, equality, and opportunity for blind people throughout the state. We know that blindness does not define who we are or limit our future. Through collective action and community strength, we demonstrate every day that blind individuals can live independently, contribute fully, and thrive in all areas of life—including education, employment, and civic engagement.
Membership dues are $10 per calendar year, and you may pay for up to two years at a time. Your dues directly support programs, advocacy efforts, public education, and outreach initiatives that empower blind people across New Jersey, including the work of the Central Jersey Chapter.

The National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey's goal is to be sensitive to members with perfume and chemical sensitivities who, as a result, may suffer potentially serious health consequences. In order to address this concern, members and participants at conventions and other meetings should refrain from wearing scented products, including, but not limited to perfumes, colognes, aftershave lotions, or similar products. We want to ensure full participation in all of our state-wide activities.
It is the policy of the National Federation of the Blind that any state affiliate or national division is required to seek approval of, and coordinate with, the national President prior to seeking legal actions, governmental complaints, or demand letters using the name of the National Federation of the Blind or any variant thereof. Furthermore, local chapters or divisions within state affiliates will similarly not be permitted to seek legal action on behalf of the organization without prior approval from both the national President and the state affiliate president who will be responsible for coordinating with the national President. State affiliates, national divisions, and local chapters or divisions may not take legal action without approval from the national President and may not commit the resources of the National Federation of the Blind to legal action without approval from the national President. The National Federation of the Blind has the right to approve any attorneys, including the state protection and advocacy organization, used by any state affiliate, national division, or local chapter or division, whether paid for by the National Federation of the Blind or by said affiliate or division. Any unauthorized legal action taken by a local chapter or division, state affiliate, or national division using the name National Federation of the Blind, or any variant thereof, or implying the support of the organization, will be grounds for disciplinary action by the NFB Board of Directors or the National Convention.
