College Spaces from Different Places meets Monthly Mentor Mondays

Second Monday of the month at 7:00 pm
We know how important connecting with peers and mentors who also happen to be blind or low vision can be for the students we work with. To help young people connect with our community of excellent mentors and allow time for them to ask questions that can help them along their journey we host our Monthly Mentor Monday’s series. During these sessions LightHouse staff lead a panel of young blind leaders through a conversation about topics important to the success of youth who are blind or have low vision. Each month a new group college-aged and young adult mentor shares their thoughts, stories and advice about that month’s topic and addresses any questions from the Zoom audience. Topics include advocacy, career exploration, social interaction, self-determination, assistive technology and recreation and leisure with a focus on the additional experiences we encounter during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Who: Inviting all students in middle or high school who are blind or have low vision
When: Monday, March 8th at 7:00 PM
What: College Spaces from Different Places Meets Monthly Mentor Monday

Blind/low vision students attending various 2 and 4-year colleges will openly discuss their experiences and thoughts on what it is like going to college ranging from struggles to successes. There will be plenty of time after for Q&A!
