Calling all volunteers to join us and support our Boston Marathon team! The Massachusetts Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired's Team With A Vision is a mix of charity, invitational, and visually impaired runners. They are an amazing group of people who are fundraising for us. We are working hard to show them an excellent time in Boston before, during, and after the Marathon. We can’t do it without you! We have several exciting opportunities to help out including:
-->Packing swag bags before marathon weekend for our runners
-->Providing assistance at the pre-Marathon events that we host for our runners ("Team With A Vision") throughout the weekend and the celebration after the marathon
-->Helping during the Marathon with the care of our runners' guide dogs, helping our photographers, staffing our hotel space near the finish line, and many other tasks.

Mission Statement
Established in 1903, the Massachusetts Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (MABVI) is the oldest program in the country providing services to adults with vision loss. Helen Keller served on our first advisory board. MABVI is dedicated to empowering individuals to live with dignity. We provide access to a full range of sight loss services and help reduce fears and isolation caused by vision loss. With offices in Brookline and Worcester, we serve more than 7,000 blind and visually impaired individuals every year. MABVI is a program of MAB Community Services.
Description
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. Special focus on reading and writing, magnification, lighting, diabetes management, home safety and daily activities.
