Become a WGXC Volunteer

WGXC is made possible by two main types of hardworking volunteers: volunteer programmers and general volunteers. Everything heard on 90.7-FM is the result of volunteer effort. From mending broken headphone cables, shoveling snow to provide access to the studios, recording town meetings and events, and being on the air sharing music and words, volunteers keep this station going. You don't have to know anything about radio or audio production to make a difference - WGXC needs you just as you are! Becoming a WGXC volunteer is a fun way to learn new skills and meet your neighbors.

Volunteer Programmers

An extraordinarily diverse group of volunteer programmers are behind the over 100 shows that air regularly on WGXC 90.7-FM. WGXC accepts program applications twice per year with applications due on June 1 and November 1. Applications received by June 1 will receive feedback in July and August. Applications received by November 1 will receive feedback in December and January. There are many ways to be on the air, so please see the application page for more details and to fill out an application. No previous radio experience is necessary, and all ages are encouraged to apply. WGXC Volunteer Programmers who live or work in the FM coverage area are required to contribute a minimum of six volunteer hours to the station annually. If you have any questions, please email Wave Farm Radio Program Director Meredith Kooi at meredith@wavefarm.org or call (518)622-2598 ext. 2.

General Volunteers

How can your skills help WGXC? Can you sit at a table during a town-wide event and tell people about community radio? Put up a flier at your workplace, or favorite local hang? Bring a Zoom recorder to your next town or school board meeting? All of this (and more) helps keep WGXC on the air, and working at its best for our communities. If you'd like to get involved, get in touch by emailing info@wgxc.org or calling (518) 622-2598!
