Welcome to the Greater Springfield Chapter of the NFB of Massachusetts!

 

The National Federation of the Blind advances the lives of our members and all blind people in the United States. We know that blindness is not the characteristic that defines us or our future and every day we raise the expectations for blind people because we recognize the low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. Our collective power, determination and diversity achieve the aspirations of all blind people.

 

About the Greater Springfield Chapter

The National Federation of the Blind of Massachusetts Greater Springfield Chapter has been helping members live the lives they want! We know the real problem concerning blindness is not blindness itself but the lack of knowledge, understanding, and opportunity from our sighted peers.

Our chapter fosters a supportive community where blind individuals and their allies work together to challenge misconceptions, build awareness, and advocate for equality. By joining us, you’ll contribute to a growing movement that’s breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for blind individuals in Springfield and beyond.
