Seeking News and Public Affairs Volunteers

Get Connected Icon Until Dec 8, 2026

Description

Hello,

The News and Public Affairs Department is seeking volunteers.

Would you like to get into news reporting? Are you passionate about a particular beat, like education, politics, transit, or environmental justice? 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.

Volunteer opportunities can be roughly categorized into these opportunities, with options to be flexible or do more than one of these.

Headlines Volunteer: Help research, write, and edit headlines and other news copy for production.

Production Assistant: Record and edit audio for programming and announcements.

On-Air Producer: Learn to interview guests or help host news and public affairs programs.

Board Operator: Operate the studio equipment to ensure quality during live programming. May include answering phones and screening calls during call-in shows.

Digital Content Coordinator: Help publish news stories on KGNU.org and/or help maintain our social media presence.

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