BISM Gold STAR 2024 Summer Program Interest Form

Have you ever wanted to gain experience in the working world before formally entering it? Or wished you could get paid for learning instead of the other way around? 


Blind Industries and Services of Maryland (BISM) is excited to introduce the Gold STAR Program! This fully residential program will provide participants with a 4-week Work Based Learning Experience. Students will reside in apartment style housing with their peers while working in a professional environment and receiving nonvisual skills training from competent Blind professionals. 


This work experience will provide you as a student with a first-hand perspective of professional environments and the responsibilities that come with a career. Additionally, the nonvisual skills (i.e. Braille, Technology, Orientation & Mobility, Independent Living, and Job Readiness) will help you learn how to become independent while maintaining a job. 


Program Dates: July 13 to August 9, 2024 (including weekends)

Ages Eligible: 16 to 21

Location: Baltimore, MD


With any questions or concerns, reach out to Juhi Narula at 410-737-2642 or jnarula@bism.org.
