You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

The National Federation of the Blind of NJ knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams.

Since 1976, the National Federation of the Blind of NJ has been helping members live the lives they want! We know that the real problem concerning blindness is not blindness itself but the lack of knowledge, understanding, and opportunity from our sighted peers. Get involved in the NFB of NJ, the largest organization of the blind in the nation and in the state, and help us live the lives we want!
