Youth Opportunities
Unite For Sight believes in the power of youth of any age to improve conditions globally. Unite For Sight has opportunities available to elementary, middle, and high school students.
Opportunities For High School Students
Unite For Sight high school chapters collaborate with local university chapters to provide free preliminary vision screening and vision education programs in soup kitchens, homeless shelters, schools and libraries. High school chapters also hold eyeglass drives to collect eyeglasses that are distributed to those in developing countries unable to afford glasses. Youth also raise funds for Unite For Sight's international eye care programs.
Unite For Sight also has internship opportunities for high school students, which you can learn about by clicking here.
Opportunities for Elementary and Middle School Students
An eyeglass drive or fundraising initiative can make a world of difference for children and adults in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
- More than 1 billion people in developing countries need eyeglasses but cannot afford them!
- More than 4 million pairs of eyeglasses are thrown away every year in North America!
- Blind people can see again after a 15 minute operation that costs an average of $50 in developing countries!
YOU can make a difference and help people around the world.
