Since 1971, The Blind and Visually Impaired Center of Monterey County has provided free and reduced-cost services to Monterey County residents who are visually impaired, empowering them with education, support, and skills training for independent living. The Blind and Visually Impaired Center’s mission is to empower the blind and visually impaired toward independent living through responsive education, support services, and skills training. The Blind and Visually Impaired Center also provides peer-led support groups held on the second and fourth Thursday of the month from 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM, and a braille class on the third Thursday of the month from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Support groups and classes are free, and all can attend.
