Happy Deafblind Awareness Month!
By: Abby Sienko
CNIB National Youth Council Member
As a person who is DeafBlind, I bring a unique perspective to the CNIB National Youth Council and our advocacy work. While there may be similarities between the blind and low vision community, being DeafBlind is vastly different. I am proud to be a part of the National Youth Council and amplify the voices of people who are Deafblind.
CNIB Mobile Hub
CNIB is hitting the road to bring our innovative programs to life in your community!
Meet the CNIB Mobile Hub – a new program delivery model where we visit your community to deliver in-person programming for people who are blind or partially sighted. At the CNIB Mobile Hub, you can participate in children and youth programming, recreational and social activities, learning and employment workshops, hands-on technology training and product demonstrations.
To see where we’re headed next, check out our tour schedule.
INCA prend la route avec son Mobile hub, pour offrir plus de soutien en région
Pour nous assurer que vous bénéficiez de tout ce dont vous avez besoin, nous avons décidé de sortir pour venir à votre rencontre dans votre région, afin de vous faire découvrir tous nos services et vous en offrir davantage d'occasions d'entrer en contact avec d'autres personnes qui vivent une situation similaire à la vôtre.
Le Hub mobile d'INCA s'installera dans un espace local où nous offrirons un éventail de programmes gratuits en personne aux personnes aveugles ou ayant une vision partielle, ainsi qu'à leurs familles, amis et aidants.
Volunteer Opportunities
Virtual Vision Mate
The Virtual Vision Mate program gives volunteers an opportunity to engage in friendly conversations with people who are blind or partially sighted. You can schedule your chats on a set day and time every week, or you can schedule week-to-week, whatever works for both of you.
Vision Mate
Make a difference for people who are blind or partially sighted by providing sighted assistance and companionship to a person in your community who is blind or partially sighted.
