Hello.<br><br>
<br><br>
We are now hiring for the 2025 Work and Gain Experience in the Summer
(WAGES) program. Please feel free to share this message with anyone who
you feel might be a good fit. More information is below.<br><br>
<br><br>
As a blind person who attended summer camps and programs growing up,
there was no greater influence to me than positive adult role models that
I could relate to. Blind and low vision mentors taught me valuable
skills, prepared me for life beyond high school, and became people I
looked up to for advice, ideas, and growth. It is my hope that we can
provide these same experiences to this year's WAGES participants, and I
invite you to apply to join us during the summer or send this mesage
along to someone you think may be a good fit. We have positions to fit a
variety of schedules including days, evenings, overnights, and
weekends.<br><br>

<h2><b>ABOUT WAGES</b></h2><br><br>
<br><br>
Work and Gain Experience in the Summer (WAGES) is a program of the
Nebraska Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired. WAGES, held June
22-August 1, 2025, is a six-week immersive employment experience for high
school students 15 years and older who are blind and low vision. During
the program students live in a residence hall on the University of
Nebraska Lincoln campus and work a full-time job. In addition to gaining
valuable work experience, students have the opportunity to improve their
blindness and independent living skills and gain self-confidence. When
not working, students participate in a variety of challenge activities
and blindness philosophy discussions and activities. During the program,
students will have the opportunity to attend the National Federation of
the blind National Convention in New Orlens, LA from July 7-14.<br><br>
