Welcome to Blind Beginnings!
Blind Beginnings is a Non-profit organization striving to guarantee quality of life for children and youth who are blind or visually impaired by promoting equal access to the world's resources and opportunities. We seek to challenge the limits of what is deemed possible for blind and visually impaired children and to establish a strong foundation on which to build rich and fulfilling lives.
Our Mission is to provide children and youth with the necessary opportunities, experiences, and family/community support to reach their full potential.
What makes us unique and differentiates us from other organizations?
- Our focus is on children and youth, and issues affecting them
- we are family directed; A minimum of 60% of the Board must be family members of children who are blind or visually impaired
- we share a "no-limits" philosophy that challenges any attempts to limit what blind or visually impaired children are capable of doing or achieving
- we embrace and value blindness and visual impairment as an expression of the range of human diversity
