2026 SUMMER PROGRAM REGISTRATION
SUMMER WORK PROGRAM
DATES: June 8 - 12 AND June 15-19
DEADLINE: APRIL 3
The Kentucky School for the Blind is offering a two-week work program this summer from June 8 - June 12 and June 15 – June 19. The KSB Work Program is a partnership between KSB and the Louisville Zoo, SSA, Kentucky Kingdom, Office for Vocational Rehabilitation, and the Kentucky School for the Blind Charitable Foundation. Students participate in two-weeks of hands-on job training with an emphasis on building soft skills and becoming a valuable member of the work force. Students will participate in daily coursework to include job expectations, appropriate work attire, building resumes, interview skills, and more. Students will also go to the job site daily where they will work in different areas with supports from KSB staff. The summer work program provides students with an opportunity to hone job skills, build a resume, learn independence, and become future leaders while still providing a safety net for students who need extra support to be successful.
This summer, the job sites will be Kentucky Kingdom or The Louisville Zoo. Students 15 and older are eligible to apply. Students will need to complete the application and obtain 2 letters of recommendation. They will also be required to complete a phone interview for the position they’d like. The deadline for applications is April 3, 2026. The application may be completed without the letters of recommendation which are due by May 25, 2026.
Students are paid through the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR). Students must have a case with a Rehabilitation Counselor for the Blind (RCB) in order to get paid. Please contact the RCB that covers your area regarding your child’s status with OVR. The RCB must know that the student will be participating in the work program.
