AINC relies on our dedicated team of volunteers to read and record print materials for publication on broadcast, podcast, and other listening platforms. For those who are blind, losing vision, or can’t read for a different reason, audio programming is a vital component of staying informed, connected, and engaged.
Hosting a Program from Home
We will provide the training and content. Volunteer readers are trained to be the best they can be in delivering spoken content and working independently from home. Volunteer readers record and submit their episodes using Audacity and our online Volunteer Portal. Most volunteer start with one weekly program, and each recording session typically lasts 1-2 hours.
More opportunities with Aftersight
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.

Mission Statement
We provide news and information in audio format for the blind and low vision community of Colorado. Our purpose is to offer connection. We connect people with voices that understand and heal, with tools that offer self sufficiency, with news that informs and educates, with events that empower, and with stories that entertain.
Description
Our team of volunteers read and record print materials on a daily, weekly, monthly, or as needed basis. We offer English and Spanish programs.
We are always looking for volunteers that have a clear speaking voice, good language skills, and tech savvy to produce audio files for us to air and publish. Voiceover experience is a plus. This is roughly a 2 hour, weekly, remote commitment.
Fill out an application from our website (www.aincolorado.org/volunteer-application) and you will then be sent instructions to audition. If you pass, the Volunteer Coordinator will work with you to assign you a program.
