Volunteer Center

The Volunteer Center at BCLC sits at the heart of the Center.  Why is it at the heart of the center?  Because volunteers are critical to the success of our students.
Volunteers come from all walks of life: retirees, college and high school students, parents of our students and professionals who want to donate their expertise.  We have volunteer opportunities for people ages 14 and up.  Despite differences in ages and backgrounds, all volunteers share a vision: to help our children grow, learn and thrive.  

The Volunteer Center also recruits interns who are receiving their degrees in Child and Adolescent Studies, Counseling, Health Sciences and/or Public Relations. For more information on internship possibilites, please contact Karissa Senterfitt,  Volunteer Coordinator, at (714) 573-8888 ext 4112 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Volunteers participate in many different activities.  

A small sample includes:

  • Preparing classroom activities
  • Assisting with feeding at mealtimes
  • Providing verbal prompts and/or physical assistance
  • Playing with children and helping with arts and crafts
  • Supporting all-school celebrations such as Graduation and Back-to-School Night

Volunteers tell us that working with our children truly changes their lives because the children touch their hearts.  Please join us at the heart of the center.

Testimonial

In a typical pre-school setting, the children stared and stared at my daughter's eye patch.  It made her so uncomfortable – at two years old!!  At the Center, there was a little girl in her class with an eye patch, and so my daughter felt right at home.  Her vision has become much stronger. This was a gift from Blind Children's Learning Center.  Mom - Trisha Sullivan
