The CNIB Foundation is one of Canada's oldest and largest non-profits. They have an extraordinary impact on the blind and partially sighted clients they serve.
Whether they're providing technology training, orientation and mobility or other vision rehab services through Vision Loss Rehabilitation Nova Scotia, or giving life changing smartphones (all donated by the public and partner organizations) to clients through the Phone it Forward program.
CNIB Nova Scotia has been an incredible resource for myself and other blind and partially sighted people.
They provide invaluable employment support through the Come to Work program. The Come to Work Program Lead in Halifax has helped me prepare and build confidence for my very first job interviews, as well as perfect my resume, portfolio, refernce sheets, and cover letters.
Another major program this fundraiser will support is the annual Life After High School camp. This experience is typically held in person in Halifax, and is an opportunity for youth like myself to gain important employability skills and experience that will help us prepare to transition beyond high school.
For rural youth like myself, it's another invaluable opportunity to connect with other blind or partially sighted youth, as well as practice urban travel skills.
