HOW WE GIVE BACK
Clear Days Ahead program
We created Clear Days Ahead to bridge the gap between good vision and improved school performance for the children in Milwaukee’s poorest neighborhoods. Along with our partners, Prevent Blindness Wisconsin and MTEA (Milwaukee Teachers Education Association), we provide vision screening and eyeglasses to students who don’t pass their initial screening.
"Being able to see is critical and foundational to children learning."- Amy Mizialko, President MTEA.
