Volunteering for the VCTV
The Entertainment Society runs on volunteers. Our most hilarious skits are often written and always acted by volunteers.
The whole concept of community television is getting local people to create it. Inverting the typical top down pyramid of a few TV execs deciding what the masses should watch. It's a powerful idea, and in the age of youtube, community television stations can be a powerful ally in an increasingly visual age.
We provide amazing access to a store of expertise and training.
Consider volunteering with us, if you are from outside the valley, talk to us about setting up an internship.
