Lighthouse of Broward County

FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida

Our Mission

The Lighthouse of Broward has provided a steadily expanding continuum of training and rehabilitation geared to blind or visually impaired children, youth, working age adults and elders. Initially primarily a recreation and social program for seniors with vision impairment, the Lighthouse today is a full service, comprehensive, nationally accredited, Charity Navigator 3 Star organization.

Who We Are

A local group of blind persons, volunteers and professionals formed the Lighthouse of Broward in 1973. Since then, the small agency created to provide social support and recreational activities for blind people has grown into an accredited, full service educational and rehabilitation agency. Every day, the staff at the Lighthouse strives to further its mission to enhance the independence, productivity and quality of life of children and adults who are blind or visually impaired.
