Volunteer

Thanks for your interest in volunteering at FBi!
Due to overwhelming interest and in order to give existing volunteers solid time here we only open volunteer applications every few months. The most recent applications took place in early February and are now closed. For a list of volunteer or job opportunities at other community radio stations, go to the CBAA website. Otherwise, check back here in 3 to 4 months as new opportunities arise. We welcome your application at that time.

If you have an idea for a new show on FBi, email caroline@fbiradio.com for more information. You may be asked to apply for one of FBi’s regular training courses.

There are a large number of roles for volunteers to get involved at the station. This ranges from manning the front desk, working in the music library, working in communications, membership, sales and promotion, producing or presenting.

Most volunteers start out on our Frontline. Frontline duties include manning the front desk, greeting guests, answering phones, responding to emails, assisting with FBi admin and supporting the music library team. This allows you to demonstrate your commitment to the station and gain a better understanding of the structure and roles available within the organisation. If appropriate, after 3-6 months you may be provided with a chance to move into a new role. Volunteers are encouraged to be proactive in seeking new opportunities within the organisation.

Getting involved at the station will also expose you to communication with regards to broadcaster and producer training, production and other special project opportunities although previous FBi volunteer experience does not guarantee a place in such courses or projects.

We're looking for volunteers that are able to commit to at least one half day a week for a minimum of 6 months. Ideally we are looking for volunteers who are interested in extending their involvement at the station beyond this. You’ll need to be a current FBi supporter.

FBi Volunteer applications are currently closed, for more information contact volunteer@fbiradio.com.
