Youth Board Representative Opportunity

8/4/2020

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.
