Welcome to The Vorden Initiative.

At The Vorden Initiative, our mission is to provide sighted individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to be effective, confident guides for visually impaired athletes. Through our guides for guides, we offer practical tools and expert advice for anyone looking to assist blind or low-vision athletes across a variety of sports.

Our resources focus on helping you understand the unique needs of visually impaired athletes, from communication strategies to navigating specific sports adaptations. At The Vorden Initiative, we spotlight the diverse ways athletes with visual impairments participate in sports, sharing the accommodations they use and how these adaptations help them perform.

Whether you’re new to guiding or looking to improve your skills, our goal is to equip you with the tools to create an inclusive, supportive environment that enables visually-impaired athletes to reach their full potential.
