Volunteer Now!
Why should YOU volunteer at KRUA?
- Become a part of your UAA community!
- Radio is a chance for you to share your passions (music or otherwise) with UAA, Anchorage, and the world
- Access to hordes of new and different music
- A chance to explore a field outside of your major
- Semi-annual scholarship opportunities for our student volunteers
- KRUA staff and volunteers are some of the best people you will ever meet
What kinds of opportunities exist for you at KRUA?
Volunteering can include, but is not limited to:
- Screening music for rotation
- Production work
- Hosting a live or pre-recorded show
- Assisting with promotional events
- Assisting our news team
- Telecasting live UAA sports events
Are there any experience requirements?
Absolutely none. Regardless of your skill in radio, broadcasting, or communications, KRUA will train you for any position that you may be interested in. Our staff is here specifically for you, and we enjoy training the future of the KRUA family.
Who can volunteer at KRUA?
Any student enrolled in 3 or more credits with a GPA of more than 2.0 is welcome! Community and Alumni members are encouraged to volunteer as well (there will be a modest fee to cover several station and University costs).
What kind of time commitment is involved?
While time commitments inherently vary from volunteer to volunteer, we try to be as flexible as possible. So, while a DJ may be in the studio for an average of three hours to produce their weekly show, promotional event volunteers may only be needed a handful of times per semester.
How do I get trained?
Initial volunteer training is approximately 9 hours in total, distributed over 7 sessions. We are very flexible in our training hours, and able to work with busy schedules.
