Train the Trainer programs for teachers and educate children and adults
about eye health and ways to prevent blindness.

All persons over the age of 18 are welcome to apply for these volunteer
opportunities, including prehealth students, medical students, public
health professionals, ophthalmologists, optometrists, physicians,
corporate professionals, nurses, graduate students, retired
