Agency: Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic (RFB&D)

Description: A HOIE Project

Do you like to read aloud? Here’s an opportunity to share your voice while helping others. The Upland Studio of Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic records digital textbooks ensuring that education remains accessible to those who cannot read for themselves.

Volunteers are needed to be recorded reading under the supervision of a Hands on Inland Empire Project Leader and RFB&D staff. Teams digitally record textbooks in many subjects including history, math, sociology/psychology, medical, business and criminal justice. Volunteers need to have sufficient vocabulary to understand meanings and pronunciations and clear speaking voices free from heavy accents.

Interested volunteers can choose to undergo further training if they wish to become long-term readers. This project is a great way to be introduced to the rewarding work being done at RFB&D.

Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.
