Volunteer Application

Welcome to CHLY! Volunteering at the station is a great way to get involved in radio, publishing, and get to know your local community! Our volunteers host radio shows, podcasts, write, edit and produce PSAs and other content, keep our music library up to date, contribute articles to the website, and more. Volunteer opportunities are open to both Student Members enrolled at Vancouver Island Univeristy and Community Members.

All volunteer applicants must familiarize themselves with our Code of Conduct. Approved volunteers will be required to sign a one-year volunteer agreement outlining their responsibilities at the station.

Due to limited time on the schedule, volunteering does not guarantee on-air programming privileges, but there are still plenty of other volunteer tasks to be done at CHLY!

What kind of volunteer roles are there?

You can get involved in a student collective, host, co-host, or produce a program, report stories, join our street team, edit audio, or intake new music as a music librarian! You can also join our board of directors!
