Support KPBS, have a great time, and see what goes on behind the scenes! KPBS relies on volunteers to assist us in providing this valuable public service to the San Diego and Imperial Valley Communities. Volunteers help with on-air membership campaigns, outreach initiatives, fundraisers, special events, station tours, and other activities.

We are working to create a more thorough Volunteer Database. If you have never volunteered before or if you have volunteered many times in the past and would like to volunteer again, we are asking you to please fill out a short form. We appreciate your help and thank you in advance for your input.
