WHYY October Radio Drive

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: WHYY, Inc.

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 1 person is interested

Please come to WHYY to answer phones and accept pledges during our October Radio Membership Campaign.

You can sign up even if you have to arrive late or leave early. Just note the times you'll be here in the comments. (Keep in mind that training is at the start of the shift. If you arrive late, we'll train you as soon as possible.)

By volunteering, you help us keep costs down, enabling WHYY to direct more of our donations directly into programs and services. Answering the phones and taking donations is a simple data entry operation using a headset and computer; all volunteers will be trained at the start of the shift.

What is required of volunteers?

  • Volunteers must be comfortable entering information into a computer form and have basic keyboard proficiency.
  • If you need to arrive after the shift begins or leave before it ends, please note the times you can be here in the comments section.

As a thank you, we will have food donated by a local restaurant or caterer and coffee donated by La Colombe for you to enjoy.

The list of days and shift times that we need volunteers are below.

  • WHYY is always looking for groups to volunteer. Please email me if you know a group that would like to volunteer. bfeil@whyy.org
