The Youth Skills Program provides social and recreational services to legally blind children ages 6 to 13 to help them build self-confidence. During the school year (October through May), students gather each month to participate in enriching social and recreational activities, including:

  • Drama, which promotes social integration and teamwork
  • Physical education and yoga, which enhance strength and balance
  • Technology to help students fully access their world through both assistive and mainstream tech tools
  • Arts and crafts, which foster self-expression and creativity
  • Community field trips to the park, museums, and local businesses
