    Description

    We all know from the last year and a half that isolation is a really tough, emotionally draining thing. At LightHouse, want to help increase companionship and improve situations of isolation for our blind students. You can help us do that by becoming a Friendly Visitor. As a Friendly Visitor with LightHouse, you will foster a relationship with one of our blind students by phone calls, meetings, and/or outings that will give both you and the student healthy socialization and companionship.

    Location

    On-site
