Vision-Impaired Youth of Virginia?

 

Hello everyone,

 

This is Melody Roane from the Virginia Rehabilitation Center for the Blind
and Vision Impaired in Richmond, VA.  We are hiring three individuals who
are successful college students or young professionals to serve as mentors
for our summer youth program, Learning Independence, Feeling Empowered!
(LIFE.)  If you are selected to be a mentor, you will have the opportunity
to gain valuable work experience to prepare you for your career choice, and
you will get to take part in confidence-building activities such as
whitewater rafting, high rope adventure course, zip lining, improvisation
training, etc.  You will also have the opportunity to work alongside some of
the most talented instructors in the Field and learn from them.  You will
work with up to twenty-two blind high school students from around the state
of Virginia who are eager to be encouraged and inspired by you.

 

Please see the attached information for instructions to apply for a mentor
position.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at
804-371-3323.

 

We look forward to talking with you soon!

 

Have a great day!

 

Melody Roane, director
