Volunteer Options

To fight for more people-powered radio, Prometheus needs people power! Prometheus volunteers do everything from lobbying in Washington DC to building radio towers to designing fliers to making food. Although we most often need volunteers local to Philadelphia, we do keep a nationwide/worldwide volunteer list so we can match folks to exciting opportunities as they arise.
