Blind Service Chicago

Blind Service Chicago is excited to collaborate with Pilates instructor Erica Mott of Movement Med of Chicago and BSC client and Pilates instructor Brooke Keaton, to offer an eight week class designed specifically for those who are blind or low vision. The Pilates class will take place at the BSC facility, and a $20 registration and equipment fee would be required which covers the full eight weeks. Let us know if you’re interested in this program by taking a one minute survey. Link is below. For more information or to do the survey by phone please call Marty at the BSC office. 312-236-0808.

This year, we celebrated an incredible milestone: 100 years of Blind Service Chicago! Thanks to your support, 2024 was filled with meaningful progress—doubling the size of our Vision Expo, launching a new,fully accessible website, expanding our scholarship program, enhancing our Pathways youth summer camp and so much more.

As we look ahead to 2025, we’re excited to launch new programs that empower and connect Chicago’s blind and low vision community:
🔹 Civic Insights: A leadership program for high school students, featuring a life-changing trip to Washington, D.C.
🔹 Chicago V.I.B.E.S.: Monthly workshops that foster independence, creativity, and connection for young students.
🔹 Orientation & Mobility Training: A 40-day program helping clients navigate the world with confidence.
🔹 Expanded Community Programs: Book clubs, poetry readings, theater outings, music classes, and more!
