Teacher Opportunities

Unite For Sight's unique service-learning unit engages students in addressing global health needs through community service. By immersing students in issues that are important to them, they connect what they learn in the classroom to real-world conditions.

Engage your students in service-learning through eyeglass drives, fundraising for sight-restoring eye care, and other Unite For Sight initiatives. A simple eyeglass drive or fundraising initiative can change lives internationally. More than 1 billion people in developing countries need eyeglasses but cannot afford them, while there are more than 4 million pairs of eyeglasses disposed of annually in North America. Blind people can see again after a 15 minute operation that costs an average of $50 in developing countries.

If you are interested in involving your students in a global initiative to improve lives of children and adults, please complete the form below. We will contact you with additional details.

I was amazed at the amount of preventable and/or treatable causes of eye disease that have gone unchecked here for many years. So many people, not just the elderly, but young children, were permanently blind from diseases that are easily treated in the U.S. Working with the Unite for Sight team on these outreaches in service to these wonderful people of Ghana was the single most rewarding work I've done in my life.
