Hello,

Enclosed are KHSU volunteer application forms. It is very important that you take the time to fill them
out completely. Please print legibly and answer as many of the question as possible. (Some of the
questions may not apply to you.)

KHSU receives many requests from community members and students to become volunteers. Our need
for volunteer help fluctuates at different times of the year.

Below are the steps involved in securing a volunteer appointment at KHSU.

1. Submit an application
2. Do a phone interview
3. Attend the Orientation Seminars (group or individual)
4. KHSU does a two-part applicant evaluation.
        I. a needs assessment-do you meet our needs
        II. a skills assessment.
5. On air monitor/production training (one on one)
6. Volunteer Appointment (fill out paper work)
7. Probation period of 6-months (we watch and listen to you)

There are a limited number of volunteers needed for production work. However there are many
other ways you can help.

In the Orientation Seminars we provide a background of KHSU, what we do for our listeners, and why.
We also cover rules and regulations all personnel must follow for safety, the FCC and compliance with
Humboldt State University. We will go through this and more during orientation. You'll also get to meet
other people who will be going through the process with you. It can be fun.

Please fill out the application and send it back to KHSU as soon as possible.

Good luck and thanks for applying,
