Applicants with braille knowledge are welcome to detail their experience and/or credentials here. Also clarify the level of your braille literacy; only volunteers with significant braille proficiency will be offered tasks outside of the ones designed for non-braille readers. Additionally, we are a small organization with a big Do-It-Yourself mentality. We are very interested in any professional or personal skills you are willing to utilize to support our mission. Specialty tasks are offered on an individual basis to volunteers with the necessary background or skill set to perform it.
