LAB has provided social and recreational programming opportunities for blind and visually impaired youth, teens and adults. The programs vary in terms of number of participants, frequency of activities and the types of activities offered. In all of our programs, participants have the unique opportunity to forge friendships with other blind and visually impaired individuals who may be facing some of the same challenges and life experiences. It is our goal to make the worlds of all of our participants bigger by exposing them to events, activities and opportunities that they may not otherwise ever have the opportunity to experience.
