Blind Industries and Services of Maryland is administering two
residential programs for blind youth in the summer of 2013:<br><br>
<br><br>
Work to Independence 2013 (<a href="x-apple-data-detectors://0">June 22
to August 10</a>) is a seven week residential program for blind high
school students. Students will learn the non-visual techniques to develop
the skills and confidence needed to optimize their independence as they
transition to adulthood. Blind adults will provide hands-on
instruction and supervision throughout this comprehensive program. High
school students will attend the National Federation of the Blind (NFB)
Convention in Orlando Florida, participate in recreational activities
with their peers and put their skills to practice in a 20 hour per-week
paid work experience during the last four weeks of the
program. <br><br>
<br><br>
Independence <a href="tel:101%202013">101 2013</a>
(<a href="x-apple-data-detectors://2">July 20-August 10</a>) is a three
week residential program for blind middle school/upper elementary
students. Students will receive hands-on instruction from blind adults to
learn non-visual techniques . These skills will build a foundation
which will improve their self-confidence and increase their independence.
Students will live with competent blind adults and will enjoy many
recreational activities with their peers in the Baltimore-Washington DC
area.<br><br>
<br><br>
We are also looking for summer counselors to staff these programs.
This is a great employment opportunity for students enrolled in
post-secondary education who are looking to earn some extra money this
summer while positively impacting the lives of blind youth. Please
share this email with anyone who might be interested in attending or
working in one of the programs. More information regarding the
programs and employment opportunities can be found on our website at

Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or need more
information.<br><br>
