PBS Volunteer News 6, 2017
National Volunteer Week
(NVW) is an annual celebration that acknowledges the generous contribution of
our nation’s volunteers. From 8–14 May 2017, PBSFM is just one of the many
groups across the country that says thank you to the 6 million Australians who
volunteer and give back to the community.
The individual and collective efforts of what volunteers achieve is truly amazing! Thank you one
and all.
We’ve got loads of
volunteer opportunities coming up in the next few days, weeks and beyond and
you can find out how YOU can help out your favourite radio station PBSFM by

Join in the Radio Festival FUN!
The PBS Radio Festival is just around the corner and we’ve still
got some volunteer spots open! In case you didn’t know, the PBS Radio Festival is the annual fundraising event where we
ask our listeners for financial support. We’re seeking wonderful volunteers to
take phone calls, and enter memberships into a membership database. Radio
Festival runs from May 15-28, and we have volunteer shifts around the
clock. Good phone manner, strong data entry skills, computer skills, great
communication skills, and an understanding of PBS are a must. Do you
think you could help? To put up your hand to volunteer in the phone room, register

PBS Policies and Procedures
It is important for all volunteers and staff to
be familiar with this. See the P&P here and http://pbs.org.au/policy. The Policies and Procedures Handbook ensures that PBS remains in
safe compliance with the Codes of Practice and other relevant legislation. It
also positions PBS volunteers, announcers and staff to operate with a shared,
clear understanding of how things work at PBS. Please read it carefully. And if
you’re inspired, why not consider becoming a PBS shareholder?
PBS acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we are located
and we pay our respects to them, their culture, and their Elders past and present
