Become a Presenter

Volunteers

Yass FM is a volunteer-driven community radio station, which means that our broadcasts and all other activities are delivered entirely by volunteers.

Yass FM is always on the look out for more more volunteers. You need to be a member to be covered by our insurance and training. We are always looking for new presenters as well as people that want to help keep the technical side going, sales and marketing, promotions and publishing podcasts on the Yass FM web site.

Remote Working

All Yass FM presenters are able to access studio facilities via fully remote teleworking. Our online systems allow the creation of programs from home or anywhere you have an internet connection. We welcome experienced presenters that do not have access to community radio in their local area to join our team at Yass FM and get on air creating local and regional content from the comfort of your home.
