davis_squareRecording for the Blind & Dyslexic are in desperate need of readers who can handle books on math, physics, chemistry, medicine, biology and computer science. They are having to turn down requests from clients who need these books, which they really hate to do.
I've been a volunteer there for seven years now and if you enjoy reading and wouldn't mind a two-hour break once a week to think about something different, maybe review something in your field or pull out the skills from your old major, then this is an excellent opportunity for you. The people are extremely nice and the studio is conveniently located in the same building with the Porter Square Elephant Walk.
If you have any questions that I could answer from a volunteer perspective, I'd be happy to, but you're probably better off just calling the office. Which you should totally do.

Yay! Thank you.
