Join WPFW’s Outreach Committee — amplify community voice, expand listener support, and shape the future of our listener-powered radio.

WPFW is listener-supported and community-centered. Outreach is the bridge between the station and the people we serve: neighbors, artists, activists, students, and listeners who depend on diverse, independent programming.

The Outreach Committee makes sure WPFW shows up where the community is — at neighborhood events, cultural festivals, schools, and public forums — so our signal is more than radio: it’s civic engagement, cultural exchange, and mutual support.

What the Outreach Committee does

• Plan and staff tabling and information booths at events across the DMV to recruit listeners, volunteers, and sustaining members.

• Build partnerships with community organizations, cultural institutions, and grassroots groups for co-promotions and joint programming.

• Create and implement membership drives, public awareness campaigns, and fundraising activities grounded in the station’s mission.

• Track community needs and report back to leadership so content and outreach remain responsive and relevant.

Why you should join

• Make an immediate, measurable impact: outreach directly increases listener engagement and financial support that keeps WPFW on air.

• Use and grow your skills: event planning, public speaking, community organizing, marketing, and digital outreach.

• Connect with a diverse network of activists, artists, and civic leaders committed to social justice and cultural vitality.

• Influence programming and station priorities by bringing community feedback and new ideas to decision-makers.

• Flexible commitment: volunteer shifts and meeting schedules work around your availability — we welcome one-off help as well as long-term involvement
