[NFBC-Info] Youth events in September!

[Amy Jine]

*Fall Independence Trip Returns!*

Join the Voyagers on our popular Fall Independence Trip! This overnight
trip is an epic adventure kayaking to Angel Island, the jewel of San
Francisco Bay. This one-night getaway is packed with fun learning
opportunities for your student to develop independence, learn a new
accessible physical activity, and form lasting friendships.

During the trip, Voyagers will learn the basics of kayaking, paddle to
Angel Island, hike and explore the islands, and camp within historic Civil
War buildings. The next day, we’ll enjoy a morning paddle back to Sausalito
to close our most popular Fall event. This trip is great for novice to
advanced paddlers of varying abilities and backgrounds, and all students
will be paired with sighted guides. We will partner with the fabulous
Environmental
Travel Companions <http://etctrips.org/> who will provide experienced
guides and camping equipment. Complete safety and health protocols will be
followed. Don’t miss this one of a kind Voyager adventure!

Who: Students with visual impairments ages 14 – 22

When: Saturday, September 24-25

Where: Meet at Vista Center, transportation will be provided to SF

RSVP: September 8th on our website

*Dress for Success Returns!*



Ever wonder what it means to “dress for success”? This engaging,
interactive, and educational workshop returns in person. This time we're
partnering with Macy's <https://macys.com/> and meeting stylists who will
help you prepare to dress from head to toe for upcoming interviews,
internships, school, special events and occasions. If you want to learn
about a career as a personal stylist or just want to look sharp or update
your look, you won’t want to miss it!



Learn and receive a free personal stylist experience and find out what
experience you need to work in the fashion industry, what type of fabrics
look best for work vs. school and the difference between business casual
and casual depending on the industry in which you work.



The team at Macy’s are also offering complimentary small treats and drinks
as we prepare for a day of interactive learning and ending with a fashion
show to show off the outfits they prepare for us!


We'll need you to fill out a questionnaire before attending so the stylists
can customize your shopping experience so RSVP early.
