We are dedicated to supporting the blind and visually impaired in gaining and maintaining independence. Our History Established in 1905 by William J. Ryan. He was a visually impaired traveling almanac sales man with a vision of creating opportunities for the blind and visually impaired to learn a trade, earn a living wage, and live independently. Ryan corresponded with Helen Keller, Joshua Chamberlain, and other leaders to promote his new organization. In 1905, Helen Keller wrote a letter to the Maine State legislature and in 1907, she, along with the Gorham Dames, hosted the agency's first fundraiser, generating $1,000. People came from diverse locations to live and work at the Center, crafting caned chairs, brooms, mattresses, and other textile products, selling their wares, and becoming an important social group in southern Maine. In the 1980s, the agency, known as the Maine Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired responded to changing demographics. The Center shifted from offering sheltered workshops to developing and delivering individualized programs of training, education, and support so people might live in their own homes, engage in work of their own choosing, and contribute to their own communities. Since 2000, the agency, known as The Iris Network, continues its commitment to opportunity, partnership, and community in support of people who are blind or visually impaired. In 2006, Iris Park Apartments opened for up to 35 residents to live at a level I assisted living facility in Portland. In 2015, we launched the Rehabilitation Center for pre-vocational training and primary vision rehabilitation including independent living skills and access technology training.   This position is currently not accepting applications.
