of excellent mentors and allow time for them to ask questions that can help them along their journey we host our Monthly Mentor Monday’s series. During these sessions LightHouse staff lead a panel of young blind leaders through a conversation about topics
important to the success of youth who are blind or have low vision.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a name="_Hlk65850280">Each month a new group college-aged and young adult mentor shares their thoughts, stories and advice about that month’s topic
