Vista Center is launching When I Grow Up, a mentorship program which matches
young adults who are blind and visually impaired with adults who are blind
and visually impaired.



Students, have you ever wondered what someone’s daily work life was like,
someone who also has a visual impairment? Are you looking for someone to
help guide you through life’s up’s and down’s? Can you commit a school year
getting to know a trusted adult who has been through similar situations? If
so, When I Grow Up is for you!  In this program, you will gain the
confidence you need to become a thriving independent adult and maybe make a
friend at the same time.



If you are interested in learning more about When I Grow Up please contact
Amy Jine at ajine at vistacenter.org or call 415-886-7049 for more information
on how to sign up for this exciting program.

What: Meet adults with a visual impairment to learn about their life. Talk
about school, home, cooking, work, and ask all of your burning questions.

Where: Meet via teleconference, email, phone or at a location of your

For Adults:



Are you interested in making a difference in someone’s life? Do you wish
there was someone to help guide you through life’s up’s and down’s? Are you
willing to commit to a school year to mentor a young adult? If so, When I
