Become A Volunteer
The next opportunity to volunteer is during our Valentine’s Day Fundraiser, Wednesday, February 8th – Monday, February 13th. Sign up for a volunteer shift here.
Volunteering is a great opportunity to support WBUR! We appreciate help from both individuals and groups, so please sign up today to volunteer during an on air fundraiser.
During each shift we provide delicious food from some of Boston’s best restaurants, a behind-the-scenes tour of WBUR, reimbursement for parking and a fun, friendly atmosphere.
As an added incentive, if you would like to have your company or group mentioned on the air during your shift, please consider joining our Community Of Volunteer Groups And Businesses. For every three volunteers (or for every three individual shifts filled), your company will be thanked briefly on the air during the fundraiser, in addition to being mentioned below on our volunteer page. Sign up now!
If you have questions, or if you would simply like to be added to our volunteer email list, please email us at volunteer@wbur.org or call (617) 353-8155.
