It’s a beautiful day. I may not see it, but I know it—and that truth fills me with hope.

The Lighthouse of Broward shines as the leading beacon of hope, education, and empowerment for people who are blind or visually impaired in Broward County. Since 1973 we’ve helped individuals of all ages gain the skills, confidence, and support to live independently, find meaningful work and thrive.

John Hart Testimonial (picture to the right):
"I've spent my career serving others, and then I gradually lost my sight to glaucoma. Yet, I wanted to continue to be the same person I had always been. The Lighthouse of Broward gave me the tools to continue to try to do as much good in the community as I always had."
