Athens Council of the Blind

Athens Council of the Blind The Athens Council of the Blind is an advocacy group of blind/visually impaired people for the support & promotion of blind/visually impaired people.

The Athens Council of the Blind is a non-profit consumer organization affiliated with the Georgia Council of the Blind, which in turn is affiliated with the American Council of the Blind. We strive to elevate the social, economic, and cultural levels of the blind and visually impaired. We strive to educate the public about the problems of blindness and the needs and capabilities of the blind and v

isually impaired. GCB activities and programs include: educational programs, legislative actions, scholarships, peer support, technology, exhibits, newsletters, social activities and Braille. Due to our efforts, Georgia was the first state to have accessible voting for the blind and visually impaired through the use of speech output voting machines. We the Athens Council of the Blind pledge to defend and support the objectives of GCB and do all in our power to further the well being of all blind and visually impaired persons within the state, nation and throughout the world.
