WXXI Reachout Radio is currently looking for volunteer readers who are available Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. A limited number of assignments are available. NOTE: All potential readers must successfully pass an audition before being assigned a program.
Job Descriptions
Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer at WXXI Reachout Radio. This volunteer application enables us to match your interests with our needs. Below is a brief description of each of the various volunteer opportunities and the approximate time commitments for each. Please note that the jobs labeled with a (*) require an audition.
READER:* A variety of programs are available for readers, focusing primarily on daily newspapers from around the 10-county broadcast region. Readers prepare their own material for broadcast from publications provided by Reachout Radio. Readers are expected to arrive at the studios approximately 15 minutes prior to scheduled reading. Most volunteers read a half-hour program weekly, although bi-weekly assignments are available, as well as some one-hour programs. So the total time commitment averages about one hour per week.
RESEARCH/RECORD SPECIAL PROGRAMS:* This is similar to a reader, but may not be a regular commitment. (Time varies with assignment.)
FLOATER:* These readers may be assigned to a specific program, but also act as substitutes, reading a variety of programs. (1-2 hours weekly)
OFFICE ASSISTANTS: These volunteers provide back-up support for mailings, program guide preparation, special projects and telephone contacts. (Time varies)
SPECIAL EVENTS: This may include, but is not limited to, any number of responsibilities from setting up and hosting remote displays, assisting in the coordination of promotional or remote events, to hosting station functions. (Time varies)
Should you have any questions about any of these volunteer opportunities, please feel free to contact WXXI Reachout Radio at (585) 258-0333.
WXXI Volunteer Opportunities: There are many other opportunities to volunteer for WXXI, such as membership drives, auction and special events. If you'd like information about other volunteer opportunities, see WXXI Volunteer web page
