A VOLUNTEER HELPING A VIM PARTICIPANT
Vision Impaired of Marin’s operations and programs are run by volunteers. Many of our volunteers are vision impaired, but we appreciate having sighted volunteers as well. Our volunteers have rewarding experiences. Our programs are making a difference. Vision impairment is known to be associated with isolation, depression, low self-esteem, social awkwardness; fear and anxiety. Please consider volunteering on any of our committees. Contact us for more information.
