Massachusetts Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired offers a number of services. In our COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER PROGRAM, volunteers work one-to-one with visually impaired adults in their community, assisting with reading or shopping. In each of our 35 peer-led SUPPORT GROUPS, individuals gather to share challenges and resources. Elders with low vision can work with one of our VISION REHABILITATION SPECIALISTS to learn strategies for living with limited or no vision, with special focus on reading and writing, magnification, lighting, diabetes management, home safety and daily activities.
MABVI's greatest need currently is for volunteers in the Boston region, who are willing to travel anywhere in the City of Boston. We appreciate volunteer's willingness to travel a minimum of 10‑15 miles.
