Rock Climb with a visually impaired neighbor in Arlington MA!

If you enjoy rock climbing and want to volunteer while doing a hobby you love, then this could be the perfect opportunity for you! A visually impaired woman living in Arlington MA would like assistance in her rock climbing hobby. If the volunteer is belay certified that would be a bonus. The volunteer should be comfortable with dogs, as the consumer has a guide dog. Female preferred and up to date with COVID vaccinations. If the volunteer has a car and would be willing to assist the participant at the store every once a while as well, that would be very helpful as well.
