Contact tour state’s department of rehabilitation or blind rehab. Each state calls a t something different. The will be able to help you get training and possibly help with school and equipment.

Go to you're department of rehabilitation. You can open a case with them and they'll help you find a job. This includes schooling, occupational training, providing tools and software you need, etc.
What specifically do you need help with? If it's a question of accessibility then I can give you some advice. If it's stuff like finding your way around a computer and you don't really need any special software then you would have luck taking a computing course at a library or community center or similar. Regardless, do open a case. They can get you a lot, and I do mean a lot, of help.

I’m a part of the lighthouse guild some of the classes that they were offering weren’t exactly what I was looking for but I’ll try and ask again! I’m specifically interested in learning about web design editing also video and photo editing and just making them in general i’m looking to get into media journalism and a lot of the internships and jobs I was looking at once people with the specific skills and thank you so much for your advice I really appreciate it!

If you want web design then you should start with khan academy. they've got a course for HTML and CSS which will get you acquainted with the basics. The rest of it can be learned through YouTube and stack overflow. Video editing and photo editing or a bit more difficult. I'm sure you could learn online but each of those is its own little beast to tackle.
