development

Common Frequency is currently looking for people to help work towards the cause of helping schools and non-profits develop community radio stations that are open to students and members of the public. We are looking for:

- People that have experience in community broadcasting/non-commercial radio, have
    worked in organizations researching funding, or have any talent in broadcast law or
    radio engineering.

- People with individual talents in media/broadcasting to serve on an advisory board.

- People in communities across the United States who would like to work locally to create a
    community broadcast outlet in their hometown.
