Louisiana Center for the Blind

Join us in Creating Opportunities and Changing Lives!

Since 1985, the Louisiana Center for the Blind has been more than a training program — we've built a transformative community where blind youth and adults gain the skills, confidence, and support to pursue their dreams. Every day, we show the world what blind people can achieve — through high expectations, mentorship, and our unwavering can-do spirit.

What sets us apart?

1. Led by blind professionals: Our programs are guided by blind mentors who serve as powerful role models and sources of support.
2. A local hub with global impact: Based in Ruston, Louisiana, our reach extends across the U.S. and around the world.
3. Innovative partnerships: Through our unique collaboration with the Institute on Blindness at Louisiana Tech University, we’re training future educators and advancing research in the field.
4. A lifelong community: Our network of students, instructors, alumni, and supporters stay connected — growing together and lifting each other up.

Your support fuels life-changing experiences and builds opportunity-rich futures. Together, we’re opening doors and redefining what’s possible for blind people everywhere. Please support us today!
