Eye-Link: Helping People Gain Access to the Accessible Tools They Have Been Denied

Eye-Link is an organization that was founded by Jim Justesen. He attended a Blindness training center in Minneapolis, Vision Loss Resources, and took note of the high cost of technology and the low income of his classmates. Knowing all too well that this was not isolated to just this center, Jim sought to help the situation and founded Eye-Link in 2000. With the passion of the Eye-Link Board and the volunteers, Eye-Link have been providingBlind/visually Impaired people with access to equipment that allows them to enhance their opportunities and enrich their quality of life. Partnering with State Services, eye-Link provides an option when all else has failed.

Seniors do not have the same funding as those clients aiming for the work force and technology and accessibility may not be in the works at your State Services. That is where the partnership with Eye’Link brings another hope of opportunity for those most in need.
