Volunteer: Seeking News and Public Affairs Volunteers

Hello,

 

A few programs within the News and Public Affairs Department are seeking volunteers.

 

Do you have a science background? The How on Earth crew would like to hear from you.

 

Would you like to get into news reporting? The Morning Magazine is a great place for that.

 

Is long-format interviewing on a range of topics more in line with your interests? Ask about hosting opportunities for Metro or A Public Affair.

 

The News and Public Affairs Department tends to have greater training capacity for Boulder-area volunteers in the mornings and Denver-area volunteers in the afternoons.

 

Contact the News Department at newsdept@kgnu.org for details.

Volunteer: Virtual Music DJ Training

After you have attended a KGNU Volunteer Orientation, if you are interested in learning more about becoming a KGNU on-air DJ, you must attend a KGNU Virtual DJ Training. This introductory session will give you a closer look at KGNU’s music programming and ethos, and get you started on your first task towards becoming a DJ at KGNU. 

Participation in KGNU’s on-air music DJ training involves the following steps:

Sign up for and attend a KGNU Virtual Music DJ Training (shifts listed below). Please only sign up for one shift.  Record a voice break demo from home and submit it to Joel Davis, Radio Training Instructor (instructions will be given during workshop). Once demo is approved, schedule in-person training in Boulder/Denver studio. Learn how to create an in-studio demo. (**Please note: a fee is required for in-person trainings) Schedule solo studio time to practice and create an in-studio demo. Submit demo to your instructor. Once demo is approved, a final in-studio finishing touches training will be scheduled and you will be put on the schedule for your first on-air shift (all new DJs begin their on-air work in the late night blocks).

You must attend a KGNU Volunteer Orientation before you can participate in our virtual music DJ training program.

If you have any questions about this process, please email Joel Davis at rtc@kgnu.org.
