KAPY 95.5, the place for your Traditional Country Favorites

At KAPY we have a dynamic team of 5 volunteers doing everything from front desk work, janitorial work, community reporting, hosting information booths, clerical support, news writing, documentary making, engineering live music, operating sound boards, engineering and computer help, website upkeep, and many, many other things.

KAPY would love to have you involved with your community radio station

Volunteering at KAPY can take many, many paths. We have volunteers who come in to do things a few times each week, and other volunteers who spend 20+ hours each week at the station. Our volunteers range in age from nine years old to more than 80. We strive to be inclusive, and have a thriving multi-cultural community working together to create fabulous  community radio.

Volunteers at KAPY are active throughout the station, both on and off of the air. Nearly every show on KAPY is produced, recorded, engineered, and broadcast by volunteers.

In addition to producing for radio, many opportunities exist for help in various departments ranging from helping with phones, mailing the program guide or helping at special events, like KAPY's Annual Book & Record Sale, and our on-air membership drives.
