Educating and Encouraging Since 1936

Are you a person with vision loss?

Do you know someone with vision loss?

There is a community of people like you.

Imagine being in a marching band, attending a group fitness class, rock climbing, shooting arrows at an archery range, completing a high ropes course, producing art, skiing down a mountain.

Now, imagine doing all of that with limited or no sight at all.

These are some of the things the North Dakota Association of the Blind does to See Blind Possible!

We have many programs, but our Adult Camp and Recreational Retreat are specifically designed to enhance life for those with sight loss.

Many times, when one is blind there is an overwhelming sense of isolation and loss of independence. That’s where we can help! We promote socialization, teamwork and education through fun and engaging activities to help ease isolation and create increased independence. We encourage and assist all we serve to See Blind Possible!

Our vision is for all North Dakotans who are blind or visually impaired to live fulfilling, independent lives.

Support

If you want to share your daily challenges or get ideas on how to complete a task using reduced or no vision, local support groups are available offering mentoring and support. Learn more about support groups here.

Educate

For students who are pursuing further education, NDAB has scholarships. Learn more about available scholarships here. We are here to help make life more livable.

NDAB provides assistance with learning adaptive daily living skills, and alternative leisure activities. We organize and run a week-long camp where these skills can be developed. Learn more about camp here.

Advocate

We also promote the awareness of sight loss through lobbying, fund raising, and conventions. Without fund raising or donations, NDAB would fail in its mission. If you want to help, you can become a member, or make a donation.
