Located in California’s Central Valley, Valley Center for the Blind has been providing services for the blind and visually impaired since 1973. What started as an idea for social and recreational services for the blind has grown into something so much more. VCB offers classes and resources for people who are blind or low vision to help each person reach their goals of independence, fulfillment, and employment. Our staff is comprised of people who have a love for the Central Valley and a passion for helping those with vision loss. Always keeping up on the latest trends and technology for the visually impaired, we strive to keep our classes current and events fun. We believe that every individual, regardless of disability, can accomplish their desired goals provided the proper instruction and support. Losing sight doesn’t mean losing hope. Here at VCB we hope to help you see it that way too!
