The Staten Island Center of Light for the Blind and Visually Impaired is dedicated to providing education, support, and advocacy that empower individuals to live more independent and fulfilling lives. Every initiative is designed to strengthen skills, build confidence, and create lasting opportunities for connection.

From daily living skill training to braille and technology classes, the Center ensures that individuals have the tools they need to thrive in school, work, and everyday life. Family guidance and school outreach also provide loved ones with the resources and understanding they need to support those in their care.

Wellness programs, mentoring, support groups, and social events foster a strong sense of belonging while encouraging both personal growth and community connections. These programs not only support the individual but also create bonds that extend into the wider community.

The Center is also a passionate advocate for accessibility across Staten Island. From schools and public spaces to transportation systems, its efforts aim to break down barriers and make the community more inclusive for everyone. By addressing both personal and structural challenges, the Center works to create lasting change.

With exciting new programs coming soon, the Staten Island Center of Light invites you to join its growing network of support. Every program is designed to bring people together, ensuring that individuals who are blind or visually impaired—and their families—have a safe, supportive place to learn, connect, and thrive.
