Posters and Postcards

 

To support our goal of inclusion of individuals in service opportunities, we’ve developed some great new marketing and recruitment products available for download. The Service Changes Lives series of postcards and posters shares positive messages about individuals with disabilities in service-learning and other national and community service opportunities.


Service Changes Lives Poster & Postcard Images

We have four sets of postcards and posters. The images on the front of the postcards and posters are identical, however the postcard contains informative text on the backside.

The following images are for viewing only, and are not for downloading. Once you register with the site and agree to the terms of use, you will have access to files for customizing contact information and high resolution printing.

Customizing the Postcards

The files are provided in Adobe Illustrator format. You can also open these files with Macromedia Freehand. The font used is Arial. Once you’ve added your information, bring the files on a disk to your local printer. If you do not have these programs or the font Arial, your printer should be able to help you insert your project’s information. To maintain the quality of the photos, we do not recommend photocopying these products for dissemination purposes. Below is a sample of the Belonging postcard and how it can be customized.
