Are you good with people, enjoy being out and about, feel confident talking with people about community radio if you had all the information you could imagine to resource?
Let us know who you are.

Volunteering at a Kootenay Coop Radio Booth is fun, for those that like talking to people.

The Booth is so important as a public point of contact in so many ways: foremost it generates awareness of the organization, that a local not for profit community service radio station is available and accessible.

Other important things that happen at a booth, as a volunteer you help the station by selling T-shirts, Memberships, Bumper Stickers, and when in season, Raffle Tickets, these all are revenue generating concepts that assist the station in covering operational costs.

Most common things that happen at a booth:
People are happy to see you, some may just walk by, but those who are interested are really friendly and happy to connect.
Membership connection, where people can become a member, or renew their membership, they will ask questions about what membership means, etc.

If you are interested in volunteering at a booth - please either email: or call the station 250-352-9600 and leave your contact information so the Booth Coordinator may contact you for orientation and scheduling.

The next round of Booth Activity in the community starts April 22nd to May 31st.
Through the month of May, there will be booth activity between 3 to five days a week.
