The Bay FM Volunteer Program provides a great opportunity to participate and contribute to one of the largest community organisations in the Northern Rivers – providing significant entertainment, news and information throughout our region, and around Australia.
Our volunteer program is designed to provide opportunities to community members within our listening area. Bay FM seeks to initiate this important effort through the collaboration with community organizations, our listeners and our community colleges and educational centers.
One of the most effective, easiest and certainly the cheapest way to get involved in Bay FM is to volunteer your time to help out at the station. Everyone – from the front desk people, the people running the music library, the people keeping our signal broadcasting are volunteers.
It’s a great way to get involved in your community, to learn about radio and to get to know other great community minded people like yourself.
