The JOY team is made up of around 180 volunteers; the ones you hear on air, and also the ones who work behind the scenes, looking after the day-to-day running of the station, and helping JOY achieve our main objective of building a more inclusive Australia.
Together, we’re represented by people of diverse gender, sex, sexuality, ability, faith, culture and profession. Each volunteer brings a unique contribution, whilst sharing the common goal of creating engaging, informing and entertaining content for our community.
The 15 minute video below will give you an overview of JOY, our values and of the different teams you can join and the various roles you can take on. From pitching a new radio show, producing a podcast, joining an existing program, right through to office admin, marketing and social media support, voice overs, audio production, news reading and tonnes more; whatever your area of interest, there’s a way for you to volunteer at JOY.
JOY Volunteers are required to maintain current JOY membership at all times. Not only does this display a commitment to JOY, it is also necessary as it allows you to be covered by various insurance policies. Apply for your membership here.
You may be asked to complete a 12-week support role if you wish to create a podcast or a program during your probationary period.
This 12-week support role is a fantastic way to get involved at JOY. You’ll join in with an existing team, learning how the station operates, and make a real difference in the production of one of JOY’s programs (or behind the scenes!). These learned skills will help in the creation of your new content.
