Do you enjoy reading aloud? Do you possess excellent literacy skills? Are you comfortable using a computer? Then PAL-Reading Services needs your help. We are looking for volunteer readers for at least 2 hours per week at our office at 27 Carlton Street, at Yonge & Carlton, a two-minute walk from College subway station.

Our volunteers range from post-secondary students to retirees and they bring their special skills and talents to each of their weekly sessions. Many of our volunteers have been with us for a long time; they have dedicated ten years or more and a few have been with us for over 20 years!

Well-done to our fantastic volunteers for providing such enthusiasm and dedication to a much-needed service! Thank you!

To give you a taste, these are some of the things we are asked to record:

• College and university level journal articles
• College and university level textbooks
• Modern bestsellers and classical literary works
• History, Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy
• Travel books, cook books and lifestyle articles
• Religious and Theological works
• LGBTQ literature
• Self-help publications
• Health publications
• Instruction Manuals

Please contact us at info@palreading.org or telephone (416) 340-7828 if you would like to audition as a volunteer reader. Auditions take place on weekdays and last for about 45 minutes.

Thank you for your interest in becoming one of our valued volunteers.
