Ways to volunteer with Golden Co-op Radio
Whether you want to serve on a committee, help with events or host a show, we have a place for you
Committees
Committees are the main way that work gets done at Golden Cooperative Radio. Committees generally meet on a monthly basis for a few hours and determine what work needs to be done prior to the next meeting to meet the goals setout for the committee by the Board of Directors.
-
The Board of Directors is elected annually by the membership to serve for two-year terms. They lead the organization and are responsible for setting and pursuing the strategic plan of the organization. They set the annual priorities, budget and oversee the operations of the organization.
If you want to make your mark on the station and be a critical part of it’s success, consider running for the board. Nomiations must be in one week prior to the annual AGM. More information here Email us to find out more!

The programming committee is the heart of Golden Cooperative Radio. This committee works on behalf of the board to ensure that programming is being made, that content is being broadcasted and that what is being broadcasted meets our regulatory requirements and station values. The work varies from reviewing policy and setting show schedules to helping to upload music and improve our song library. If you are a big audio content fan, or like the idea of helping foster and improve shows, this might be the committee for you!
-
The establishment committee works on the critical task of building up the physical, digital and legal framework to operate as a radio station. This includes such tasks as the physical improvement of our studio, establishing a radio tower, improving our broadcasting software and filling out all of the paperwork to legally operate as an online and eventually terrestrial station. You don’t need to be an expert on any of these things, but if you like research and figuring out interesting things, this committee might be for you!
-
There is nothing more important in a cooperative, community station than engaging with our membership. The marketing committee creates social media & email content to both inform and engage our members on everything happening with the station. This drives volunteer engagement, promotes events and showcases all of the wonderful programming the station has to offer. Plus they create some awesome merch! If you enjoy creating online content for others, this might be the committee for you!
