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.
Volunteer Application
If you would like to volunteer at KVIE, please click here  to complete the Volunteer Application Form online. All potential volunteers must have an application on file in order to be considered for any position. If a volunteer match is made, we will contact you to determine your availability. Please no phone calls. We will hold your application for six months.
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 & Outreach – assemble workshop packages, label children’s books for community distribution. Spanish-speaking volunteers needed for various projects.
- Membership – excellent customer service skills, data entry, filing projects
- Premiums Dept – prepare mailings of pledge thank you gifts, some computer skills
- Production Dept – tape logging, transcribing, building DVDs
- Fundraising Events – various data entry projects to increase volunteerism
Pledge Drive Opportunities:
- Studio Production Crew – Studio Captain, Auditor, 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
You’ve seen the phone bank groups on TV. Have you ever wondered how you can be a part of the fun at KVIE? We are currently scheduling energetic phone bank groups for our membership pledge drives. And becoming involved is as easy as 1-2-3!
- First - call or email to book a pledge date that works for your group’s schedule. See below for specific dates and time slots. Once you have booked your shift, you’ll receive a confirmation email with all of the information your group will need.
- Second – start recruiting 10-12 volunteers from your friends, family and coworkers (ages 16 and older) who have experience using a computer (you do not need to be an expert). Return your completed roster of volunteer names to KVIE, or bring it with you to your scheduled shift.
- Third - arrive at KVIE on your designated date and time and we’ll take you through all of the training for the telephones and computers. We’ll even provide snacks and coffee!
