The organization's mission is to help children and adults who are blind, visually impaired, or multi-disabled achieve independence.

Located in Los Angeles, WFS offers individualized methods of early intervention, education, recreation, and rehabilitation to nearly 10,000 children and family members throughout California.

The organization is also committed to helping youth, adults, and Veterans who are blind or visually impaired prepare for a life of independence and success.

Weekend Visions trips to national treasures such as Yosemite, as well as summer camp sessions at Camp Bloomfield, provide children who are blind, visually impaired, or multi-disabled with the chance to build confidence, develop habits toward healthier lifestyles and gain independence.

Athletes come from California, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and elsewhere to compete in such events as rowing, shot put, 100-yard dash, archery, rock wall climbing, and the long jump, among others.
