Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Readers narrate the text of a book and describe any visual elements, such as charts, graphs, pictures, maps, or mathematical equations. Currently, RFB&D is facing a shortage of specialized readers proficient in math, science, finance, accounting, computer science and other technical areas. We are also in need of volunteers to read K-12 titles.



Directors guide the reader by operating recording equipment and making corrections to the recorded material when needed.

Bookmarkers create a "pencil path" through books to be recorded, making notes to guide readers through the sequence of charts, illustrations and footnotes.

Other opportunities include orientation leaders and office support.

Ages 16 and up please. On site training provided.
