We had a great start to our Youth Summer Days programming with Tech Saturday at our Silver Spring service center's Assistive Technology (AT) lab.
We met new families, toured the AT Lab, heard from CLB’s partner, @RightHearApp , and enjoyed an amazing afternoon together.
Joan, a CLB Volunteer, expressed "In the very small hours, even if you work full-time, you can make a big difference in the life of someone who really needs your help."
