jobs, learning braille, independent living skills, receiving mobility
training, and more!

hall!")

 

We will provide training for your group via Zoom or in-person to provide
information and demonstrations on how to best interact with blind people. 

 

Volunteers must be at least 18 years old. You will also be able to learn
about braille, how blind people navigate, screen readers/assistive
technology, and more!
