When you sign up as a volunteer, we arrange a session for you with one of our Orientation and Mobility instructors who will teach you the Sighted Guide Technique. This technique helps you guide a person who is blind or has low vision through doors, on stairs and in crowded stores. If you have questions “on the job,” we are just a phone call away. The person you are assisting will also be able to give you guiding tips.
