Volunteer with us!
Each year, 200 volunteers are needed to produce about 4,000 hours of original programming! We need you!
We are currently in need of remote readers across the state and early morning readers in the Lexington studio.
If you are interested in volunteering, please complete the online Volunteer Application here, or send us a completed application by email at info@radioeye.org or mail it to the studio closest to you.
Once we receive your application, we will respond within three business days.


What You Need to Know
You will need to complete a background check when you come in to audition. This keeps us in compliance with our contracts with the Lexington Public Library and VIPS.
Auditions are required for all readers. The orientation and audition process will take approximately one hour.
​We ask you to come in once a week, but you're welcome to come in more! We're very flexible with your schedule. ​You will be at the studio from an hour to an hour and a half each time you volunteer, depending on what you read. Some programs are 30 minutes and some are an hour.
Volunteering in Lexington
Our Lexington studio is located in the back of the Northside Branch Library on Russell Cave Road. There are two parking lots. You will turn into the smaller lot (the building says “RETURN” in big letters) and ring the bell to be let in.
We have opportunities for live readers, recording readers, control board operators, and general office help in Lexington.
Volunteering in Louisville
Our Louisville studio is located inside of the Family Library of VIPS. You’ll need to ring the bell to be let in and sign in at the front desk.
We currently have opportunities for remote readers and outreach volunteers in Louisville.
Reading At Home
You can also volunteer as a reader from your own home! Remote readers record their programs anywhere they want (free of extraneous noise) and send their files to us through a file-sharing program, typically Dropbox. Download and read through these remote reading instructions if you’re interested in getting started.
Like our in-studio volunteers, remote readers must complete a background check, and go through the audition process. Many remote readers volunteer once or twice in-studio to get used to the reading format and recording software.
