In order to fulfill our mission to increase the opportunity for braille literacy and to bring the joy of reading high-quality braille books to blind children, Seedlings Braille Books for Children relies on skilled volunteers to transcribe and proof books. New titles and selections are made possible by the dedication of these volunteer braillists. In addition to certified braillists and proofreaders, Seedlings utilizes volunteers in various capacities.
Many volunteers help with large mailings and other clerical projects throughout the year.
As each project arises, volunteers are contacted. We also have volunteers who deliver boxes of braille books to the Livonia post office. During our busiest months, September through December, volunteers are trained to bind books and take phone orders. Most of the volunteer staff operates on an on-call basis.
