Dear KSQD Community: We are having a blast growing the station and making strides in fulfilling our mission to build community through quality broadcasting. 2023 saw the expansion of not only our signal but also our connection with the region through representing the station at more events than we ever have before. All these exciting efforts require tremendous effort, and to keep it going we could use more helping hands.
If you are reading this, we know you appreciate K-Squid. Thank you! If you are not already a volunteer at the station, we would like to invite you to join us or pass our invitation on to your friends who might be looking for ways to get involved and connect with like-minded folks in the community.
Right now our top priority is for a volunteer coordinator team. We are gearing up for our busiest time of year for outreach at events and our coordinator is stepping down. If you have good organization/communication skills and enjoy connecting with great people, this could be a rewarding role, and you get to attend amazing events too!
