On Saturday and Sunday afternoons or evenings while class is in session, volunteers spend time with our blind and visually impaired students while the students are taking a break from training with their guide dogs. A volunteer takes a student—without his or her guide dog—on local, fun excursions. Activities range from a trip to the mall, to a walk along the beach, to going to the movies. Volunteers for this program must be at least 18 years old and must have a valid driver's license.
Hours of volunteering:
Saturday or Sunday afternoons, from 12 p.m. to 4:15 p.m., or evenings from 5 p.m. to 8:15 p.m., while a Guide Dog Foundation class is in session.
Orientation:
Volunteers must attend an orientation session prior to their first day of volunteering.
