If you operate out of a local affiliate of one of our national partners you are welcome to apply to distribute Sight for Student gift certificates.
Due to the fact that Sight for Students is operating at above capacity, we are not accepting new community partners.
VSP does not distribute any gift certificates directly to individuals.
