The Fitchburg, Springfield, and Worcester offices offer drivers and escorts to appointments.
Most assignments are in the individual's home, but some assignments are at the work site.
A volunteer's time commitment ranges from two hours per week to two hours per month. The minimum commitment is for six months. Volunteers are interviewed, screened, and attend a three hour orientation before being matched with a consumer. They learn about blindness, its causes and related issues, as well as the rights and responsibilities associated with volunteering. They receive ongoing supervision from the Director of Volunteer Services.
