Job Description:
Join Vision To Learn and make a direct impact in your community
by helping provide vision services to school-aged children in
underserved communities who would otherwise go without access to
care. Competitive pay, mileage reimbursement, flexible schedule, no
federal holidays, and no nights or weekends (other than very select
voluntary exceptions). Vision To Learn is the largest school-based
vision care nonprofit in the country. VTL exists to address one
basic premise - if you can't see, you can't learn. Vision To Learn
provides free eye exams and free glasses to students in underserved
communities to help them succeed in school and in life. Founded in
Los Angeles in 2012, Vision To Learn has since expanded to schools
across the country. Vision care is critical as 80% of all learning
during a child's first 12 years is visual, we work to solve the
problem of lack of access by partnering with school districts to
provide eye exams and glasses at no charge to families. We have
provided over 2 million vision screenings, 410,000 eye exams and
330,000 new, prescription glasses in the last decade. In exciting
news, Vision To Learn has been selected by two-time Pulitzer Prize
winning New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof as a recipient of
the 2022 Holiday Impact Prize recognizing non-profits helping
children in need through outstanding, heroic work that changes
communities for the better. The work done by VTL has also been
featured in The Washington Post, ESPN, PBS News Hour, countless
local television pieces and newspaper articles. VTL was commended
by the US Senate in a bi-partisan resolution signed by 43 Senators.
In terms of evidencebased service, glasses provided by VTL have
been found to have a high impact on the academic success of
students by researchers at UCLA Mattel Children's Hospital and
Johns Hopkins University. Position Description Vision To Learn is
