The Netherlands is becoming increasingly gray. And with that, the number of elderly people with a visual
restriction also increases rapidly. Become a Consultant Fit Reading and help the elderly to keep reading!
The function
As a consultant (volunteer) you look for these elderly and you make them the way to a suitable reading form. Think for example of spoken books or books with extra large letters. You will be introduced to the extensive range of more than 75,000 books, newspapers, magazines, radio plays and lectures in suitable reading formats.
How are you going to do this:
You introduce older people to Fit Reading by (co-) organizing
reading activities, for example reading clubs, in local care homes.
You help people, on request, one-to-one when registering with Passive Reading and borrowing
the first books.
You provide information about Fit Reading on local information markets.
We are looking for consultants in the regions of The Hague, Utrecht, Gelderland and Friesland.
