Programmer Training Orientation (click for more info)

If you've ever wanted to get involved with WYCE, join us for an orientation to on-air programming!

WYCE and Grand Rapids Community Media Center present a free and open volunteer orientation meeting for all who may have wondered "What is GRCMC?" "What is WYCE?" and "How can I get on-air?"


The orientation is in Wealthy Theatre's Koning Microcinema on Friday, July 7th at 6pm.
No commitment is necessary to attend. In this two hour session, we will discuss the mission and history of Community Media Center and WYCE. We'll also outline the upcoming programmer training course and our expectations for all new WYCE volunteer programmers.
