Volunteering Opportunities at shmu
'Pop Ups' in local communities will show what's on offer
We're looking for new volunteers to get involved with shmuPRESS, shmuFM and shmuTV.
We're passionate about hearing your stories, covering topics that are important to you and your community, and sharing these through print, radio, TV and online.
We challenge mainstream media messaging by supporting our communities to learn media skills that empower them to share and celebrate news important to their lives.
We're looking for new volunteers to get involved with shmuPRESS, shmuFM and shmuTV.
