Youth Volunteer at WRIR

WRIR is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization with the Virginia Center For Public Press. WRIR trusts its youth volunteers to be responsible, self-sufficient and mature members of the WRIR community. Students can earn community service hours by volunteering at the station. It is up to the student to provide the necessary paperwork or forms needed to document his/her volunteer hours for WRIR to authorize. To be a youth volunteer at WRIR you must (1) fill out the volunteer application found at www.wrir.org, (2) complete this form with your parents/guardian, (3) attend an orientation with WRIR station volunteers. If you have questions, you can email, volunteer@wrir.org

As a WRIR Youth Volunteer, you understand:

(Check all that apply)

Youth will be in the building with other volunteers and members of the community.

Youth volunteers are not allowed in the studio after the city’s curfew of 11 pm.

Any WRIR volunteer may not drink or do drugs on the station premises, including outside on the studio’s porch. People who are of age may smoke on the back porch.

Youth under the age of 14 are allowed to use WRIR computers and equipment only when accompanied by a parent who trained as a WRIR volunteer on the station’s studio and electronic equipment.

Youth over the age of 14 are allowed to use WRIR computers and equipment only after being trained and approved by a WRIR volunteer, preferably a WRIR committee chair or board member.

All equipment at the station is for WRIR use only and not personal use. A youth may only be in the studio for the purpose of volunteering.

When recording, it is necessary to close the doors to the studios. A youth volunteer may be in a closed studio if he/she is (1) working alone or (2) working with two other adults, who are not related. Otherwise, a youth volunteer is allowed to work with another adult volunteer if the studio door is kept open. The adult WRIR volunteer must be one who is involved on the same project/committee as the youth volunteer.
