Who We Are & What We Do

The National Federation of the Blind, the oldest and largest organization of
and for the blind in the US, is made up of blind/ visually impaired people
of all ages, and their families and friends. We help newly blind people
adjust to vision loss, assist parents and teachers of blind children, and
promote the full participation and integration of blind people in our
communities.  Our activities include:
•    Assisting blind persons in acquiring the skills of independence
•    Helping blind persons develop confidence in themselves
•    Teaching blind persons the skills of leadership through active
participation in conventions, chapter meetings, and civic activities
•    Encouraging blind seniors to continue their active and meaningful
lifestyles
•    Preparing blind students for productive, tax-paying careers through
training and academic scholarships
•    Supporting parents, teachers, and friends of blind children with
mentoring, role modeling, information, and training
•    Informing those losing their sight due to diabetes about techniques for
dealing with vision loss
•    Advocating for policies that eliminate discrimination and guarantee
equal access to high quality educational and rehabilitation programs
•    Educating the public through community activities and publications
•    Protecting and promoting the civil rights of blind persons through
public education and legislative action at the state and national levels


Spotlight on NFB of NJ

Live the Life You Want

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back. Together, with love, hope and
determination, we transform dreams into reality.


The National Federation of the Blind Pledge

I pledge to participate actively in the efforts of the National Federation
of the Blind to achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind;
to support the programs and policies of the Federation; and to abide by its
constitution.

tickets and exchange them together.  Ten people can be seated at each table.
Exchange will be open Friday, 8 – 8:30 pm, and Saturday, 12 – 12:30 pm and

make a left and walk about 50 feet. Go out the rear doors and turn left,
walk about 4 steps and turn left again. The grassy area is right there the
cement area is a step down off the curb.  Please note, the cement is an area
where there may be service deliveries, so please listen and be careful.  It
is rather quiet on weekends. A lined trash can will be on the grassy area.
