Youth Board Representative Opportunity
Interested in radio and community service? Want to gain leadership experience?
KWMR, West Marin’s home-grown, non-profit radio station, is interested in you. We’re currently seeking participants for our year-long youth representative program. Apply for a chance to be part of the station’s leadership team during the 2023-2024 academic year!
As a KWMR’s Board Youth Representative you can…
- Share your ideas about how radio can better serve you and our community;
- Learn the inside scoop on what makes home-grown radio work;
- Be part of KWMR’s awesome community events, or plan some of your own!
- Learn community organizing skills, radio programming, or other radio-related skills that interest you;
- Fulfill community service or other school requirements.
Selected representatives will be asked at a minimum to:
- Serve as a youth representative for one school year or up to a year (option to extend over summer);
- Attend at least 6 1.5-hour board meetings (the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 6-7:30 online or at the Point Reyes Station fire station);
- Work with a board member mentor to design a 5-10 hour project that serves the station and our community and that inspires you! Ideas for core projects include:
- Listen to the radio and give us your feedback, or do a survey about KWMR in the community;
- Plan an event for young people that KWMR could help sponsor;
- Bring music, interviews, or other listening content to the radio as a guest DJ;
- Help record and edit audio of community events;
- Answer phones at the station during pledge drive;
- Work at a KWMR outreach table at the farmers market;
- Your own ideas!
Does your school or program have a community service requirement or internship program for which you can receive credit? We will work with you to help you meet your program’s requirements as well.
Applications for the 2023-2024 academic year are accepted until Sept 30, 2023, or until the program is filled.
