Seeking Optometrist in California - F/T & P/T
Vision To Learn is a non-profit organization that provides free eye exams and free glasses to students in low-income communities to give them every chance to succeed in school and in life. The program was founded in Los Angeles in 2012 and has since expanded to schools throughout areas of California, Delaware, Michigan, Mississippi, Virginia, Georgia, Iowa, New Jersey and Hawaii.
