KMUD Volunteer Agreement

With three transmitters in operation, KMUD serves several counties in Northwestern California. KMUD is owned and operated by Redwood Community Radio, Inc. a non-profit corporation. We've been broadcasting since May 28, 1987. Our programming (90% of which is produced locally) includes music of all kinds (roughly 75% of airtime); news of the region and beyond; public affairs and call-in talk shows. KMUD is composed of over one hundred and twenty volunteer programmers and six full-time staff.

VOLUNTEER AGREEMENT

Thank you for volunteering at KMUD!

KMUD depends on volunteer energy. To offer the community great programming,
access to the airwaves and a diversity of voices, we need to pay the bills and keep ourfacilities maintained. From answering phones during the fund drives to tidying up thekitchen and staffing benefit events, volunteer energy is the glue that holds it alltogether. In this way, each volunteer, whether or not they are a programmer, is acitizen of the KMUD community. These are some elements of that citizenship.

1. I, __________________________ (name), volunteer for KMUD, have read KMUD’sOperator’s Handbook (if a programmer), Disciplinary Policy and ProblemSolving Procedure.
2. While there is no set requirement for volunteer hours, performing some amountof volunteer work is an essential component of my time at KMUD.
3. I will work with the Volunteer Coordinator to outline a plan for my volunteertime at KMUD that is (a) additional to my time on the air (if I am a programmer),
and (b) comfortable and appropriate for my schedule.

and/or any other coordinators with whom I work.

6. I agree to obtain permission from the Management Team or Board of Directorsbefore acting as a spokesperson or agent for KMUD, and before using KMUD’sname in association with any public event or activity.
