All of the staff at KTEH would like to thank you for agreeing to volunteer for our upcoming Membership Campaign. The Mission of KTEH is to provide high-quality programming and support services in the community, which educate, inform, entertain and enrich. We cannot do what we do without the help of ALL of our volunteers.
Here are just a couple of last minute things you should know especially if you are new to volunteering with KTEH:
Ø Please make every attempt to arrive on time. We need to make sure that you have ample time for signing in and training prior to your first phone shift.
Ø Out of respect for our neighbors, we ask that you not park at Sonitrol, (you’ll notice their building to the right as you enter the parking lot). Please park in the spaces allotted for KTEH. You will enter the building through the door marked “Staff and Volunteer Entrance”. Please ring the bell if the door is locked and someone will let you in. You should then proceed to the first room on your right to sign in.
Ø Depending on the day and shift time – food or light snacks are provided. Please keep in mind that if you have any special dietary requirements, please let us know in advance and we will make every attempt to provide you with an alternative. If we are not able to meet your request then we recommend that you make other food arrangements. We do have a refrigerator and microwave available for your convenience.
Monday – Friday: 6:00pm – 11:00pm shifts
Since we know most people are coming directly from work and may not have the opportunity to eat prior to volunteering, KTEH does provide dinner.
Weekends:
Morning shift - 8am - 1:30pm
Light snacks/oatmeal/pastries are served at the beginning of the shift; sandwich makings are put out later.
Afternoon shift - 1:00pm - 6:30pm
Sandwich makings, light snacks are put out during the shift.
Evening shift - 6:00pm - 11:00pm
Sandwich makings, light snacks are put out during the shift.
Ø The studio may be a little cold so it is recommended that you bring a jacket or sweater.
Ø While we certainly appreciate the amount of time you are donating, we do count on you being able to stay for the entire shift. If you do need to leave early, please be sure to make prior arrangements so that the staff can be made aware and we can provide adequate coverage.
Ø If you have an emergency and are unable to make it, please call 408/795-5454 as soon as possible. You will either have to leave a message or if you calling during the actual shift time, then a volunteer may answer the phone. If so, let them know that you need to speak to the Associate Producer, (A.P.).
Ø And lastly…have fun! We want this to be a rewarding experience for all of you and hope that you will consider returning for future events.
Thank you!
