Volunteer

Volunteers do a lot at CJAM!

Every time you tune in at 99.1 FM you’re hearing a volunteer on the air. Volunteers also help by maintaining our enormous music library, writing radio scripts, producing public service announcements, interviewing cool artists, reviewing music, helping out at festivals & events, updating our social media, and so much more!

Want to learn more about the music we play? Listen to CJAM at 99.1 FM, stream us live from our website or access our monthly archives on-line under the “programming” tab. It’s the best way to learn what we’re all about and what our schedule already offers – this way, if you develop an interest in programming you’ll be able to propose something that adds to the diversity of shows in our current lineup.

Become familiar with our station mandate; CJAM is part of a national network of campus and community radio stations whose mission is to provide an alternative to mainstream/commercial interests and the CBC.

CJAM is redefining radio in Windsor//Detroit. We are looking for are individuals who are open-minded, have a willingness to try things and meet new people, possess a passion for radio, and desire further engagement with the community.

I’ve got a great idea for a show. How do I get on the air?
Email us at info.cjamfm@gmail. com to book an orientation session, or follow us on social media to find out when the next group session is. You’ll learn about all the ins-and-outs of CJAM & campus/community radio so you can be ready to create fun, exciting shows. If you’re completely new to radio or podcasting, that’s cool! We’ll teach you from the ground up. Orientation and training is mandatory for every CJAM host or volunteer – even if you’ve volunteered at other campus/community stations.

Please note…
CJAM 99.1 FM is always keen to take on new volunteers, but be aware that volunteering your time at a 24/7 radio station means being on-time to your live show, respecting staff time, and making sure you understand the nuances of how a station of approximately 150 volunteers runs. While we do have 3 paid staff members (sometimes more if we’re lucky enough to have a grant employee with us), please respect staff time by refraining from contacting us through social media, especially outside of office hours. If it’s an emergency, you’ll have our #’s on hand. If not, make a specific appointment so we can be sure to give you our full attention.

Note that our live and recording booth are both cleaned on a regular basis by both Uwindsor cleaning services and CJAM FM staff.
