MAB consists of many chapters throughout the state and is far and away the largest consumer organization of blind and visually impaired Montanan residents. Its members are of different ages, interests, and ethnicities and represent a wide variety of occupations, political persuasions, and religious affiliations. In numbers, we join together to solve the problems and change the stereotypes that society imposes upon us. It is by working together that the great challenge of blindness can and will be overcome.
Since all members are an integral part of this organization, MAB connects us all together to create a support network; for when a blind or visually impaired person is discriminated against, all of us are affected. We also celebrate each member's individual achievements and the accomplishments of our chapters. Throughout the state Montana chapters and individual members have been involved with accessible voting machines, Para transit issues, installation of Accessible pedestrian signals, and many other developments that affect the daily lives of blind and visually impaired persons. When you become a member of MAB, you automatically have a sense of belonging to a group of people who truly understand and welcome you to a wonderful family of caring friends.
Our other programs include:
* 2 no-interest loan programs for people seeking to buy equipment or get training
* Scholarships for college-bound students
* Low Vision Center in Bozeman where people can try out different types of adaptive equipment
Testimonies
"Since becoming a member of MAB in 2020. I've gained more confidence in myself, I've connected with other parents who are low vision, and I've made friendships that I would never have made had I not been introduced to MAB. In fact, I've enjoyed it so much that I started a Missoula Chapter in 2022. I think that's the best part, getting to meet up with others in my community and get together to do things like take a class in pottery, or go birding in a safe inclusive environment. This is an awesome feeling"
