Phone Bank Volunteers
Volunteers take calls on the WPT phone bank.

Wisconsin Public Television is seeking volunteers to join our Spring membership drive team (March 4- March 19)! WPT is a member supported organization and fund drives give viewers the opportunity to call in and make a pledge to public broadcasting. Just a few hours of your time can help raise thousands of dollars to support the programs you love at WPT! How can you help? Register today at www.wpt.org/volunteer .

Volunteers are needed to fill the following jobs:

  • Phone Bank: Talk on the phone/headset with viewers and enter their pledge information into a simple computer software program you will be trained to use.
  • Refreshment Host: Serve refreshments, snacks, and a meal to volunteers and staff. WPT studios are located in Vilas Hall on the UW-Madison campus.

Weekend and week night shifts are available and include hands-on training, refreshments and a free meal. Students: Earn up to 20 service hours for your National Honor Society application or graduation. For more information and to register, visit us online at www.wpt.org/volunteer .
