American Council of the Blind

Welcome!

Since 1934, the mission of the California Council of the Blind (CCB) is to gain full independence and equality of opportunity for all blind and visually impaired Californians.

CCB is a non-profit tax-exempt organization composed primarily of Californians who are blind or have low vision.

We reflect the diversity of California.
