Louisiana Association of Blind Students (LABS)

A division of the National Association of Blind Students, we are also the student organization of the National Federation of the Blind of Louisiana, an affiliate of the National Federation of the Blind. LABS has been in existence for over ten years. There are students of all ages and in all levels of their educational pursuits who are members of our organization. LABS members meet a few times a year to network, share accomplishments, and receive advice on problems they may be facing. You can read about the board members on this site, and find out what is going on with other students in the state. We are changing what it means to be blind in the twenty first century!

You can join our division by completing the form below. We accept annual dues of $5.00. You must pay dues to participate in yearly officer and board elections.
