Opportunities From: WFYI

It’s a beautiful day in the GPL neighborhood! Join us as we bring Daniel Tiger and hands on activities to families as the library celebrates their 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Participants!

Families will be able to meet and take photos with Daniel Tiger and enjoy hands on activities throughout the evening. Volunteers are needed to greet families, assist with activities and help with light set up/tear down.  

Join WFYI at Data and Drafts as a volunteer bartender. A valid serving license is required. 

This volunteer role will include setting up/cleaning up the bar area and you will be serving beer throughout the event. 

WFYI is seeking photographers to capture special events, candid shoots with member families, new WFYI "gear" and member-gifts, staff and hosts, and partner engagement activities.

Photography volunteers will sssist with coordination of photographed subjects (i.e. finding a time/place to photograph a new radio host). - Consult with Marketing team to understand needed shots (Marketing staff can/will be involved in certain shoots), and align needed shots with WFYI's larger goals of diversity and inclusion. - Execute photography sessions with professionalism and positivity, understanding that they are serving as a representative of WFYI. - Upload files to WFYI space (ideally via Dropbox or Microsoft SharePoint).

Volunteer will need their own camera, lenses, and other photography materials, as well as a stable internet connection and mode of transportation to shoots. Photos can be uploaded remotely to WFYI servers and WFYI would retain permission to use, edit and distribute all images.

Once you sign up for this opportunity you will be connected with our marketing team and contacted for photography needs. 

Spend an hour or two outdoors and do some good for the environment! WFYI is searching for environmentally conscious volunteers to help our neighborhood be litter free for a cleaner environment.

Have you ever bar tended? Worked an event where you obtained your pouring license? If so, please let us know!

Due to taking precautions in regards to Covid-19 IRIS Program Readers are still volunteering at home. While most programs are being recorded remotely we have a handful of programs that still need a remote reader. 

We have volunteers who read from a variety of publications on a monthly basis that include local and national newspapers, online articles, magazines, chapter books, and public service announcements related to food pantry listings, library services, government services, and local events for the disabled. IRIS airs from 6 am-10 pm daily with new updated programs every week. 

If you have access to a smart phone/computer and are tech savvy this opportunity would be a good fit for you! Volunteers are needed for weekly and monthly programs. 

Once you sign up you will be contacted with more information.
