Volunteer Coordinator

• The volunteer helps create fundraising events.  Solicit other volunteers, schedules and coordinates them  with their job preferences.

On-Air Membership Drives 

• Volunteers are needed to help answer telephones and fill out pledge forms during the on-air membership drives. Volunteers work a two to three-hour shift (shifts are scheduled at various times during the day).

Direct Mail

• WCBU89.9 is always sending out letters to potential members. Volunteers help stuff envelopes and get the mailings out.

Call Outs

• Annually, WCBU sends out letters to lapsed members for renewal. Then, volunteers get together for one night to call these individuals and get pledges.

RIS

• The Radio Information Service (RIS) is staffed by volunteers reading local publications for the blind, visually impaired and print handicapped individuals in the area.  This program is transmitted on a "sub carrier" that can be heard on specially equipped receivers supplied to qualified listeners at no charge.  Learn more about RIS.
