Volunteer at WCPE

WCPE was founded by volunteers. Volunteers have always been a vital part of our station. Our mission is to share Great Classical Music with the world. By volunteering your time and talent, you can be part of our team effort!

Plus, volunteering with WCPE gives you an opportunity to spend time with a wonderfully diverse group of interesting and dedicated people who love classical music and want to support The Classical Station.

We have a variety of needs, ranging from helping assemble our fundraising mailings, to assisting with our semi-annual pledge drives, to engineering.

You can make a difference!

Pledge Drives

WCPE holds pledge drives each Spring and Fall. We need Volunteers, both individuals and in groups, who can come to the station and answer phones and fill out pledge forms.

Pledge drives are great opportunities for your company or civic group to serve the community! We'll be glad to acknowledge your company or group over the air. If you would prefer do to something other than answer phones, we also need help packing up Thank You gifts, and preparing and mailing out pledge confirmations and other paperwork.

Help assemble our mailings

Several times each quarter, WCPE sends out a newsletter and/or fund raising letter to our Members. While some of the envelope stuffing is performed by machine, most of the work is done by our Volunteers.

Some of our Volunteers have been helping us with our mailings for 5 or 10 years or even longer. Why do these people come out to the station to stuff envelopes? The satisfaction of knowing that they are supporting WCPE and helping us share Great Classical Music with the world, the pleasure of spending time with others who love classical music, and the joy of seeing friends they've met at the station over the years.

Administrative Support

The Station frequently needs help with routine office tasks: answering the phones, filing, data entry, etc, during regular business hours. Experience is preferred but not required.

Announcing

Currently all our regular Volunteer Announcer slots are filled. However, there is turnover. And, there are frequent opportunities to fill in for Announcers who may be unavailable for an air shift. If you are interested in announcing, please submit your application and our Program Director will keep your information on file until the next series of Volunteer Announcer classes. Experience is preferred but not required.

Computers, Engineering, Accounting, Financial, etc.

Occasionally Volunteers will assist our staff with engineering, accounting, computers, marketing, graphic arts, development, or other tasks which may require professional skills, background, or experience. It's difficult to predict when these kinds of assignments will occur. If you have skills of this type which you would like to make available to WCPE, please submit your application and our Volunteer Director will keep the information on file.
