The Colorado Center for the Blind is now accepting applications from
positive blind role models to work as residential counselors and
classroom instructors in our 2023 summer program, No Limits to
Learning.  Positions are available in teaching Braille, Cane Travel,
Home Management and Technology. All positions also provide residential
training and supervision to enrolled youth.

The Colorado Center for the Blind is a training center and community
of blind and low vision people, proudly affiliated with the National
Federation of the Blind.

We believe you can do anything as a blind person. So every day, we
encourage and challenge you—and you come to understand your potential
as you build the skills and confidence to live the life you want.
Because when you believe in yourself and experience a thriving
community of positive blind people, nothing can hold you back from
pursuing your dreams.

Our No Limits to Learning program will span 4 weeks and will give
students the opportunity to explore career paths, college/university
readiness, and confidence building through challenge recreation
activities.

Applicants must be 21 years or older and available June 21  through
August 7, 2023.  Applicants must be competent in the skills of
blindness, well rounded, flexible, possess excellent oral and written
skills, and willing to lead by example.  Applicants must be excited to
work with blind students ages 14  to 21.  Fun challenge recreation
activities are an exciting aspect of the position and staff will have
the opportunity to go rock climbing, hiking, kayaking, ziplining,
attend martial arts classes, and much more.

All summer staff will attend the national convention of the National
Federation of the Blind in Houston, TX from July 1 through 6, 2023
with expenses paid! Staff members will be required to take part in a
thorough training/on-boarding process prior to departing for National
Convention.
