Program

Youth and Family

Programs start at birth to help build the skills and self-confidence necessary for future independence.

Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind helps children who are blind or visually impaired develop the social and academic skills and self-confidence to lead independent and fulfilling lives. Through its children’s programs and services, CLB provides important instruction for infants and toddlers, supports academic learning and social skills development as children grow, and is a resource for parents, families, and schools.

We host a series of monthly summer day activities.
