The National Federation of the Blind Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning® (NFB BELL) Academy is a nationwide summer program dedicated to empowering blind and low-vision children, helping them grow into confident, independent individuals who can live the lives they envision. The NFB of Iowa is thrilled to host a residential program at Grand View University this year and invites your child to enhance their Braille and nonvisual skills alongside other blind youth and inspiring blind role models.
The program will take place from July 20-25, 2025, with all meals provided. There is no registration fee, but donations to the NFB of Iowa are appreciated. Parents/guardians are responsible for transportation to and from the program; however, assistance is available if needed. Transportation for field trips will be provided. Registration closes on June 30, 2025. For more information or additional questions please contact Becky Young.
