The Youth Programs Team supports young Alaskans who are blind or visually impaired during our Spring Break Camp, Summer Youth Program, and pop-up activities through the year.
Why It Matters
Confidence and independence take root early. A steady, encouraging volunteer can change how a young person pictures their own future.
The Reward
You will watch young people try new things, find their footing, and surprise themselves, and you will have a hand in it.
