Volunteers

 

WNET.ORG’s volunteer community is a network of interesting people committed to public television.  The first small group of volunteers summoned the resources and support to help create the station in 1962. Throughout our history, the station and volunteers have enjoyed a rich and rewarding partnership.  Each volunteer brings a unique contribution to the WNET.ORG family. Like the founding group of volunteers, they all share a belief that public media plays an essential role in the educational and cultural life of every community in the tri-state  area.
Today, volunteers continue to apply their talents and passion for public media in order to

  • support the mission of WNET.ORG
  • support WNET.ORG’s staff on a daily basis,
  • to help bring our message to the public.

Volunteering for WNET.ORG is not just philanthropy. Our volunteers also learn what makes public television work.  They gain positive learning experiences and meet interesting new people, both staff and volunteers alike who share an enthusiasm for and take pride in the station’s trusted mission.

Administrative volunteer opportunities require daytime availability during the week. That’s when our offices are open and staff is on site. These volunteers generally work one or two days a week from 10 a.m. to 2 or 3 p.m. Computer skills are very helpful but so is a willingness to roll up your sleeves and assist with a huge mailing. All volunteer assignments support the business side of WNET.ORG rather than the production/technical side.

If interested, please contact us by filling in the form below.  Thanks and hope to see you there!
