New Visions of Tomorrow is currently supporting the Vista Center as they fund crucial programs that help the visually impaired confidently and independently navigate their daily lives! Getting tech savvy comes easily to the majority of people, however, it comes with a learning curve for those who try to navigate with Google maps, fill in an online application, check a calendar, or identify the color of socks in a drawer.
Integral programs like Vista Center's Social Recreation and Access Technology programs require funding to help the visually impaired confidently and independently connect with others, generate opportunities and break free from limiting boundaries.
