Easy-Access Reading Service
An EARS volunteer providing assistance as a new era of service begins at the Raleigh Lions Clinic for the Blind. The Raleigh Lions Clinic for the Blind began providing a new service on February 5, 2004. This page will provide basic information as we develop and offer this program. Be A Volunteer If you take pride in your community and have an interest in providing a service to those in need, Raleigh Lion's Clinic for the Blind has the perfect volunteer opportunity for you. As our agency continued to promote personal success and independence through employment, we are expanding this focus to include positive, personal development and quality of life. What ? Volunteers are needed to serve as personal readers to visually impaired and blind individuals. Duties may include reading personal correspondence (mail, bills, articles, recipes, etc.) Additional duties may include assisting individuals with completing handwritten documents. Opportunities to record materials on cassette may be available. Where ? All reading appointments will be scheduled at Raleigh Lion's Clinic for the Blind, 315 Hubert Street, Raleigh, NC 27603 (919-833-8611). As demand for the service increases, opportunities to expand the program will be explored. When ? To start, all reading appointments will be scheduled on either Tuesdays/Thursdays (9:00 AM-5:00 PM) and Wednesdays (4:00 PM-8:00 PM). Readers will be matched with an individual for a two-hour block of time which is determined by the volunteer's availability. How ? If you are interested in volunteering with such a rewarding program, please contact Kellie Hightower-Spruill, Assistant Director of Service Development, at 919-833-8611 or email her at ears@rlcb.net . A volunteer orientation will be announced.
