Volunteer

Are you interested in volunteering with one of the oldest and most reputable blind services agencies in the nation? Would you like to be part of an organization whose mission is to not only foster self-sufficiency and independence amongst blind and low vision individuals, but also to impact the blind community at large through a continuum of positive, meaningful, and life-changing experiences?

No matter where your interests lie, SF LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired offers volunteer opportunities that mobilize and inspire people to help build a stronger, more vibrant, and more inclusive blind community. LightHouse takes great pride in creating volunteer opportunities that leverage the myriad talents, interests, experiences, and overall altruism of our diverse volunteer corps. We firmly believe that through civic engagement we all become agents of change.

SF LightHouse volunteers are dedicated people like yourself coming together to invest their time, energy, and resources in order to exact positive change within the blind community. SF LightHouse volunteers are trained to lead well managed projects, programs, and activities that build upon our community assets, meet our community needs, and provide volunteers with a positive experience to ensure a lifelong commitment to community service.
