[Njabs-talk] Opportunities for Youth

[EVELYN E. VALDEZ]

The Louisiana Center for the Blind is pleased to announce the dates of our 2011 summer programs.


LCB will host one session of the Buddy Program, for students in grades 
 4-8, from Sunday, July 17 through Saturday, August 6, 2011.


The Summer Training and Employment Project (STEP) Program for blind 
 students entering either the 10th, 11th, or 12th grades in the fall of 
 2011, will take place from Sunday, June 5 through Saturday, August 6, 
 2011.


Both of these residential programs are hosted in the city of Ruston, 
 Louisiana. Please contact Eric Guillory, Director of Youth Services for 
 more information at 800-234-4166, ext. 3009, or by email at 
 eguillory at lcb-ruston.com. Enrollment applications for both programs may be
 found on the LCB website under the Programs and Services heading. These 
 challenging and rewarding programs strive to enhance students' skills of 
 blindness while simultaneously fostering a positive philosophy of 
 blindness for students and their families. These initiatives have truly 
 been life-changing for literally scores of families.
