Volunteering
Become a volunteer and make a donation of your time!
WAMU relies on the generous support of people like you who share a personal appreciation for public broadcasting. Volunteering not only benefits us here at WAMU, but you also have the opportunity to see how public radio works first hand.
Whether you choose to answer phones during our membership campaigns, help out around the station a couple of hours a week or assist us at a community event from time to time, there's always something to do and something new to learn. Our volunteering opportunities are listed below.
Volunteer Opportunities
WAMU Ambassadors
Ambassadors are an essential part of enhancing awareness to the community with their presence at community events. Their involvement sends out a message that WAMU is worth supporting. They provide information about the station at WAMU sponsored events. These events take place at galleries, theaters and other great places throughout the D.C. Metro Area. (Evening/Weekend)
Daytime Station Support
We can always use a hand around the station answering phones, supporting program producers, mailing premiums, or possibly something we haven't thought of yet. If you have time you would like to spend with us tell us your talents and we'll find something for you to do! (Weekday)
Membership Campaigns
Our most exciting and most important opportunity, WAMU membership campaigns bring you together with our producers, hosts, engineers and support staff as well as other fans of public radio in the Washington Metropolitan Area. Whether it's answering phones, proof reading or even supervising a shift there's guaranteed to be great food and a great time. (Evening/Weekend)
Newsroom Assistant
Do you like to stay busy? If so, our news room may be the place for you. Individuals are needed to assist with clerical duties, scheduling, and the anchoring of news cast. A positive attitude and a desire to stay informed is what is expected of newsroom volunteers. (Weekday)
