Proms are usually designed for people who can see. Our teens go to these proms but they can't enjoy them the way sighted teens do and they are often the only visually impaired person at the event. To ensure our teens experience a prom to the fullest, we hold them at no-cost and we invite teens just like them from other Lighthouses.

Our teens tell us our proms help them socially—they learn how to dance and mingle, and they make life-long friends. They also make important memories that remind them that they fit in, are important and unique, and that they can do anything. Therefore, the prom helps them adjust to vision loss successfully.

Volunteers are needed to help with decorating, set up, handing out gift bags, serving food, assisting teens as needed, and tear down. We hope we can engage up to 5 volunteers to help for the amount of time they are able. Volunteers work for 3 or more hours and are provided with an orientation to blindness, drinks, food, and breaks as required. We appreciate any help we can get!
