Intern & Volunteer Opportunities
Did you know KVIE Public Television volunteers donate over 33,000 hours of their time annually? Each year, KVIE relies on the support of over 5,000 individuals through volunteerism to keep KVIE running smoothly: by providing office support on a weekly basis, taking phone bank pledges during our membership drives, and helping out during our special event fundraisers.
In its daily operations, KVIE counts upon support from the community. Volunteers are needed in almost every department of the station. Here are some of our current individual volunteer opportunities.
Office and Clerical:
- Education Dept – assemble workshop packages, label children’s books for community distribution
- Membership – excellent customer service skills, data entry, filing projects
- Outreach – Spanish speaking volunteers needed for various projects
- Premiums Dept – prepare mailings of pledge thank you gifts, some computer skills
- Production Dept – tape logging, transcribing, building DVDs
- Volunteers & Interns Dept – various data entry projects to increase volunteerism
Pledge Drive Opportunities:
- Studio Production Crew – Studio Captain, Auditor, Production Assistant and Teleprompter
- “Friends of KVIE” - Emergency Phone Bank volunteers help answer calls from members, sometimes very short notice is given when a booked group no-shows
