Open Volunteer Positions
Front DeskĀ
The Front Desk volunteer is the most excellent seat in the KFAI house. Visitors are relieved to see real people when they arrive and hear a real person answer the phone. This vital role is an effective way to learn more about the organization, meet other volunteers, and network with people at KFAI. Or, if you are looking for an opportunity to work on your knitting project, do homework between classes, and catch up on your crossword puzzles, the front desk awaits!

Resident Archivists
In the 46 years of KFAIās existence, weāve amassed quite a collection of photos, newspaper clippings, and other memorabilia. And letās be honest, thereās also a lot of junk that doesnāt need to be here anymore. Archives volunteers will help us sort through all our old stuff and bring it back to life in creative ways. Photos of the week? A color-coded filing system? The possibilities are endless. If you have an interest in local history and are ready to dive into our storage rooms, email volunteer [at] kfai.org with the subject line Archive Ace.
Website team
KFAIās website is expanding! Some of our program pages are in need of a revamp. We also host a community events calendar with shows, festivals, and more. A regular crew of volunteers searches for events from various sources around the Twin Cities and assembles them each week into an easily navigable online calendar. As part of the website team, ouāll also help with writing show summaries and creating a new look for our programs page. Email volunteer [at] kfai.org with the subject line Website Wizardry to get involved.
Music Library
KFAIās Music Library is in the process of a major update. We have thousands of records in our collection, and we need people enthusiastic about music and/or curatorial work to help keep it a living library that is accessible to seasoned DJs and new visitors alike. Current projects include improving navigation within the library, creating a catalog, listening to and filing new music, and more.Ā
If you want help curate this essential resource, email volunteer [at] kfai.org with the subject line: New Music Librarian.
