Volunteer at BALANCE

“Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.” – James Matthew Barrie

BALANCE provides innovative, inclusive, community-oriented programming and partnerships to our adult participants who are living with vision loss. We provide an opportunity for volunteers to obtain personal growth, develop communication skills, learn new guiding and technology skills and develop personal connections. Through your involvement as a volunteer, BALANCE can expand our contact and instruction with our participants.
