Our Mission

The mission of the Florida Lions Conklin Center is to train, assist, and support individuals that are blind and have one or more other disabilities to obtain gainful employment, live independently, participate in community life and have the freedom to make their own choices with dignity.

Our students may have been born blind or suffered an injury or illness that caused the loss of sight. they are also challenged by another physical or cognitive or developmental disability such as deafness, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities or borderline mental retardation, to name a few.

They all share the same dream - to be productive members of society, working and living as independently as possible. At the Conklin Center we teach the skills our students need to live on their own and provide ongoing assistance as requested.
