Hands On Atlanta is excited to bring on-demand volunteering opportunities to the ATL through a partnership with Be My Eyes. It's now easier than ever to support the visually impaired.

 
 
 

SEE THE WORLD TOGETHER

 

Be My Eyes is a free mobile app with one main goal: to make the world more accessible for blind and low-vision people. The app connects blind and low-vision individuals with sighted volunteers and companies from all over the world through a live video call.

How it Works

  1. Someone who is visually impaired and in need of assistance will open the open and make their request. 

  2. Volunteers will get a notification on their phone with details about the request and the support needed.

  3. Volunteers can respond to the request with a video call (think Skype or Facetime) and solve the problem in real-time.
