School to Work Transition (Ages: 14-21)

The Lighthouse provides a year-round transition program for teens with vision loss ages 14 and up.  The goal of the program is to empower students to live more independent, productive lives by providing a variety of instruction and activities that include daily living, technology, career exploration, socialization,  recreation, orientation and mobility, and self-determination.

Transition students meet one day per week after school (Mondays) from 3:30-6:30pm at the Pasco Lighthouse and one Saturday a month.  Transportation to and from the Lighthouse is provided by the program via Lighthouse staff, taxis, or other public transportation.  Students are typically picked up directly from school and taken home in the evening. One-on-one instruction can be provided as well as smaller group settings if students are unable to attend on Mondays. During the summer a 5 week program is provided that includes a paid work experience!
