Youth Programs

BSC’s Youth Program reaches out to blind and low vision youth with a variety of offerings throughout the year, including a reading competition, adaptive winter skiing, and a sports recreation league. Each summer, kids ages 12-17 have an opportunity to participate in Pathways. A robust month-long endeavor, this flagship program provides daily living skills, a host of recreational activities, art and music, and cultural events. Applications are accepted until May 31 for any given year.
Pathways
Programs and Services
In addition to Reading and Recording services, Blind Service Chicago hosts an array of support programs. Special workshops for Seniors, to monthly social and networking opportunities, and weekly activities held on our conference line, we offer many ways to be engaged and connected.
Volunteer Opportunities
The services that are available at Blind Service Chicago could not happen without the dedication of volunteers who faithfully give of their time to read one-to-one to clients, to record books for audio playback, to mentor, to do office work, or to help in fund raising activities.
