Volunteering
Why volunteer?
Traditionally, student volunteers have gotten the short end of the stick in the workplace, especially in creative media roles. However, at Tune we’re anything but traditional.
We believe in the unique talent of our students and know that to succeed people need support and opportunity, above all else.
We’re not interested in having students hanging around to go on coffee runs for us, but what we are interested in is developing job-ready professionals, with the skills and experience to pursue a career in their chosen field.
Volunteering with us could see you announcing on air, creating social media content, writing articles and even creating your own podcast.
What you do, and how well you do it, is largely up to you. Don’t get us wrong, we’ll be here to provide you with support and training the whole way, but at the end of the day we understand that you are the driver of your own success.
Customise your experience
When we say we’re student-powered, we mean it. Students are the heart and soul of TuneFM, so to repay the favour we’re more than happy to tailor your time with us so that it best aligns with your interests, goals and availability. If you’d love to sign-up but feel like there’s something standing in your way, reach out to us to chat and we’ll try our best to come up with a solution.
Sign up!
If you think volunteering could be for you, then make sure to apply ASAP. More time with us equals more learning and development which will be a major benefit to you when it comes time to apply for jobs. Before you know it, you’ll be crossing the stage at your graduation, and you’ll be glad for all the extra opportunities you sought while studying.
See you in the studio!
