RADIO FESTIVAL EARLY OFFERS

It’s already almost March and given we’ve been inundated with so many volunteer requests, we were wondering – who’d like to volunteer during our annual radio fundraiser?   Radio Festival is the PBS annual radiothon/subscriber-thon/marathon fundraising event where we ask our listeners for financial support and we need wonderful volunteers to take phone calls, and enter memberships into a membership database. Good phone manner, good data entry skills and great communication skills, and a strong understanding of PBS is a must. Radio Festival runs from May 15-28. To put up your hand to volunteer in the phone room, REGISTER HERE

If you’re not big into phone rooms, or would like to try something different, we do offer administrative volunteer roles on and after the radio festival. CLICK HERE  to register for an aftermath role.
