The Colorado Center for the Blind is excited to announce its No Limits to Learning program for blind teens and young adults for the summer of 2026, with 3-week and 6-week options. No Limits to Learning is a residential program for ages 15–21.

Students in the 6-week program will also attend the 2026 National Federation of the Blind National Convention in Austin, Texas, along with Colorado Center for the Blind staff and ITP students. To be considered for the 6-week program, students must submit an essay with their application. The essay must be at least 300 words in length and describe how attending the National Convention will impact the applicant's life. (No essay is required for the 3-week program.)

Applying for No Limits to Learning for Summer 2026

Please note that completing this form begins the application process for our 2026 No Limits to Learning program. Here's the process:

1. The student, along with their parent, TVI, or VR counselor, completes the Summer Youth Application Form. (Please send the essay by the April 17 deadline to Director of Youth Programs Tiffany Moon, tmoon@cocenter.org, if applying for the 6-week program.)
2. Once the application is complete, the Director of Youth Programs will conduct an interview with the student and parent to determine if the program is a good fit.
3. If all agree the program is a match, families will be asked to provide additional information about the student such as any medications, allergies, or other necessary information to ensure the student's well-being during their program.
4. Cost of No Limits to Learning is typically covered by the applicant’s state Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program as a part of the Pre-ETS (transition) programs. If the applicant is not yet receiving these Pre-ETS services, we can provide guidance on how to apply for VR funding in your state.
5. Apply early! Space is limited, and applications are accepted only through April 17.

Please contact Director of Youth Programs, Tiffany Moon, for further information or if you have any questions: tmoon@cocenter.org or 303-778-1130, ext. 256.
