National Volunteer Week

Volunteer Appreciation Week

April 21 - 27

After a couple years of a slow re-opening, 2023 felt like things were really back in gear! KEXP’s Volunteer Engagement Program facilitated nearly 8,000 hours of volunteering and welcomed 47 new volunteers to the program; some volunteers returned after an extended break and some joined KEXP for the very first time. Whether they are writing comments on the real time playlist, welcoming guests in the Gathering Space, testing KEXP’s mobile app, or supporting an event, we are so grateful for all of our volunteers! They so generously donate their time and share their skills, and they make an incredible impact at KEXP.
 

Thank you so much, KEXP volunteers! Your work enriches our lives!
