Tours
World Services for the Blind is the most comprehensive rehabilitation center for blind or visually impaired adults in world, offering a unique combination of independent living skills and career training, and access. To educate the community about our mission, WSB conducts tours of the center. The tour program is designed to introduce the public to our three areas of focus through an engaging, one-hour journey around our center that features presentations from staff and clients on what we do and how we’ve helped so many blind or visually impaired people. If you would like to schedule a tour for you and your friends, coworkers, church or civic group, please contact us at training@wsblind.org.
Lions Club Speaker’s Bureau
The decades-long partnership between WSB and Lions continues as members of the Lions Club Speaker’s Bureau make presentations at Arkansas Lions Clubs throughout the year. Our speakers educate their fellow Lions about the mission of WSB, offering insight to our programs and success stories about our clients. Contact Lee Rogers for more information.
Alumni Association
If you graduated from WSB, we want to hear from you! WSB’s alumni association enables staff to track the whereabouts and the accomplishments of former clients, and it gives past clients the chance to network, support WSB, stay up-to-date with new happenings and get back in touch with old friends. In addition, the association allows WSB to expand its public education program by recruiting alumni to be ambassadors and give speaking presentations in their area on behalf of WSB. For more information on the alumni association, please contact us at training@wsblind.org.
