LIFTT Tour 2025

Event description

Learning Independence For Today & Tomorrow

Join us for a campus tour of the Learning Independence For Today and Tomorrow (LIFTT) program located at the Washington State School for the Blind (WSSB) in Vancouver, Washington. 

LIFTT is a 9-month program for high school graduates who need additional guidance with learning the skills necessary for independence in college and beyond. 

Workshop participants will tour the LIFTT facility, meet with current LIFTT students, and enjoy a lunch they prepared for the event. 

In addition, participants in the Puget Sound area who are interested in practicing their travel skills can ride the Amtrak Cascades to and from the event starting in Seattle. The group will leave from King Street Station. Students who live close to stations on the Amtrak Cascades route also can join the group at the remaining Amtrak stops.
