Learning Ally

I have been volunteering as a reader at the Upland Learning Ally (formerly RFB&D — Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic) studio every week for two years now and I absolutely love it.
There is definitely a lot to learn about the recording equipment and the specific codes which indicate how each book must be read (it’s a whole structured, systematic format but once you get it down, it starts coming very naturally :-)) and if you enjoy reading and stick with it, you will likely love volunteering there as much as I do.
Everyone at the studio is very helpful and they are always available to answer any questions you may have. They provide excellent training and support and I have never once felt like I was stuck figuring out something on my own if it was foreign to me (e.g., how to operate the recording software, etc.).
The Learning Ally organization makes learning accessible for thousands of students who might not otherwise have learning opportunities equal to the majority of their peers and I find being a part of this organization very important and rewarding.
If you are looking for a way to give back to the community and impact people’s lives positively, and if you enjoy reading and having the opportunity to learn about a wide range of subjects, I highly encourage you to look into the volunteer opportunities offered by the Learning Ally organization [

Got an email from Recording For the Blind and Dyslexic, writing that the organization is changing their name to «Learning Ally.» Not the first time that the group has changed it’s name. Hopefully this will encourage those in special need of books in audio form will learn of their services.
Yep, that’s all I wanted to say.
