Join a team that helps people meet the challenges of low vision and blindness. Eye-Link, Wisconsin is a nonprofit that grants, free of any charges, assistive equipment to people dealing with the loss of their sight. We are seeking volunteers who live or work in WI. This oppotunity is a wonderful way to help your Wisconsin friends and residents.

Eye-Link, Wisconsin is looking for two volunteer positions who could dedicate approximately one hour per month to help in the delivery of assistive equipment.

Volunteers meet online to review grant applications for assistive hardware and software for WI residents who are experiencing uncorrectable sight loss These highly specialized adaptive technologies give a "voice" to text on monitors, documents, household mail, food & prescription labels, restaurant menus, magazines, books, classroom notes, smart phones, and other devices.

Eye-Link is ready to change lives in Wisconsin. If you’d like to be part of this effort, and for more information, call Jeff Agee-Aguayo at 920-360-7258 or email: jca541963@sbcglobal.net
