*	Be a door prize runner

hall!")

 

We will provide training for your group via Zoom or in-person to provide information and demonstrations on how to best interact with blind people. 

 

Volunteers must be at least 18 years old. You will also be able to learn about braille, how blind people navigate, screen readers/assistive technology, and more! 

 

For more information and to sign up as a volunteer, please contact:
