PBS Volunteer News 10, 2018

It’s that time of the year again when we say THANK YOU to the many wonderful volunteers who contributed to PBS in 2018. And at the end of the year, often commitments change for some, so we have to say farewell to excellent volunteers and offer new experiences to those keen. Whilst we’re on our break (Friday 21st of December -2nd January 2019) have a think about if you’d like to volunteer at PBS. What does the future hold for you?

We’re looking for people who love the station, listen to the programs and have an understanding of our purpose of what PBS is all about: nurturing, inspiring and championing Melbourne’s diverse music community.  If you possess good communication skills, the ability to work effectively with others, awareness of the station’s policies and procedures and a will to assist PBS in various ways, volunteering at PBS could be for you!  Check out below to see if there’s something that suits you and follow the instructions on what to do next. In the meantime......
