Review for Guiding Eyes for the Blind Inc, Yorktown Heights, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I've been a volunteer at Guiding Eyes for about 5 years now. Back in 2013, I didn't know much about Guiding Eyes for the Blind, but after retiring from my job at a school district, I wanted to do volunteer work and remembered this organization that had been in my local area for as long as I remembered, so I gave them a try. What I found was a wonderful environment with very professional and compassionate people who seemed genuinely dedicated to the goal of their organization, which is matching guide dogs with people who need them. And I was amazed to learn that this is at no cost at all to the people they help! But I think most of all, I witnessed firsthand their training staff working with their dogs and their visually impaired students, and I am in awe of the kindness, respect and talent they employ in dealing with both dog and student. This certainly seems like a worthwhile organization to me.
