Volunteer Resources

A strong volunteer base is the lifeline of any community radio station. Volunteers are the ones answering phones during pledge drives, training people on the mic, and voices behind your broadcast. We know there are many resources out there for volunteer outreach, which we would like to compile for other stations to use. Please send us your volunteer policies and outreach strategies to stations (at) prometheusradio.org to help your fellow community radio stations.

In the meantime, you can check out a great community radio website from England that has a free manual for download, with a chapter on volunteers. You will have to create a login to that website in order to download it. Once you do recruit volunteers to your station, you may want them to sign a volunteer agreement. View a sample agreement used by KMUD radio in Northern California.
