Volunteer Readers with Disabilities or a Disability Experience!

Save to Favorites

Volunteer Readers Wanted! We're collaborating with local groups to promote awareness and education to break stigmas about people with disabilities.​ We are recruiting volunteer readers for our Disability Awareness Literacy Program in elementary schools.

Readers who have disabilities or disability experience provide valubale insight for our program participants.

Your Role:

• Meet with our outreach staff to prepare for the program- you'll get tips for reading to kids, review the book before each program, discuss follow up topics, and be fully prepared to take the program to the classroom
• Meet with us at the school on reading day. The outreach staff will attend classroom readings with you and support you through the journey!
• Read the assigned book to your scheduled class of 1st graders
• Answer any questions the students might have all while using person-first language

As part of our commitment, DNMM will ensure that persons with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodations for the volunteer opportunities. If reasonable accommodation is needed, please let us know upon inquiry.
