Volunteer

Hi. I'm Ani, KBOO's Volunteer Coordinator, and I'd love to talk with you about volunteering.

Between February 2nd and the 18th, we are raising $100,000 for KBOO during out Winter Membership Drive! This is hugely important because KBOO's ability to remain a vibrant independent source for news, music, community information, and art absolutely relies on listener support. Over 80% of KBOO's funding comes from our listeners, and most of that comes to KBOO through the on-air membership drives. We have over six-hundred shifts to fill during the drive, so we really need everyone's support to make the drive a success. There are a number of roles for volunteers, and I’d love to talk with you further about how you’d like to participate!

Hi all -

I have not been modeling good blogging skills, I know. So with the new year, I've resolved to write more frequently... and have those entries be shorter. We'll see how this goes.

New Office Hours!

Yes, I have new office hours. I am now here from 11am to 2:30 pm on weekdays KBOO time. So if you'd like to drop in, I should be a little bit easier to find. And if you'd like to make an appointment or share your thoughts, you can do that at web@kboo.org.
