Invest In The Vision


 



 


A New Beginning...

Since 1926, A.V.R.E. (formerly the Blind Work Association) has been helping blind and visually impaired people in the New York and Pennsylvania Tiers.

Our goal has always been to make a significant difference by improving the quality of life for visually impaired children and adults through education, training, and employment.

According to the U.S. Census, there are approximately 30,000 blind and visually impaired individuals in the South Central New York and Northeast Pennsylvania area.  And while A.V.R.E. already provides a set of core rehabilitation and employment services, we want to do more.

A new facility -- a Center of Excellence in Vision Rehabilitation and Employment -- will allow us to reach out to this largely under-served population.

As you read through our story, I hope you will see the real need and the exceptional benefit this new Center of Excellence will provide for our clients and for our community.
