Lighthouse Guild was founded by volunteers who envisioned a brighter future for people who are visually impaired. More than 100 years later, we have a family of more than 700 volunteers who continue that legacy.
Our volunteers contribute over 16,000 hours of service annually and are critical in helping people with visual impairment lead productive, dignified, and fulfilling lives.
There are many ways you can help people who are blind or visually impaired. We offer flexible day, evening, and weekend hours, and provide training for specialized volunteer service areas. Learn about the types of volunteer opportunities we offer as well as our current openings.
