Volunteerism CHSR style
CHSR is your radio station. By ‘you’ we mean pretty much everybody. CHSR is open to all comers. We are a community access broadcaster situated in the shared building of the St. Thomas and UNB students unions. What that leads to is a radio station which has both student and non student members who produce programming according to their own tastes after receiving excellent training from our staff.
Student Involvement
We produce programming for the public, and in large part that involves students. We get most of our funding from the students of UNB and St. Thomas (Thank you!). Our Mission Statement makes a point of saying that we will produce programming of interest to students, and we take that very seriously. A significant percentatge of our membership is students, and they produce what is of interest to them…and therefore it is likely to be of interest to other students.
Community Involvement
It is an important and fragile right in Canada for the citizenry to have access to the public airwaves. This is true for the broadcast of not just music but also news, opinion and Public Service Announcements. You don’t have to be a student to join, get trained, and get a show. We have a lot of listeners who are not students who also appreciate what CHSR can bring to the airwaves.
Some of our longest running shows are produced by community members. They bring a wide variety of on-air content to our listeners, and have dedicated fan bases.
Groups and Clubs
Radio is an important medium for keeping a community connected. If your community or student group wants to keep your members / neighbourhood entertained and informed by producing a focussed broadcast, come in and sign up as a group. We’ll train you, and give you options for new members and turnover.
YOU and CHSR
Don’t just sit there listening! Come in and get involved. At least come in and look around. We’re sure you’ll find something you’d like to do here. It’s not all about being a DJ, there’s lots of projects and departments that can use volunteers.
