Is there parking?
Free parking is available in the WPBT Channel 2 parking lot.
If my organization is volunteering, how many people can we bring?
The WPBT Channel 2 Studio holds a maximum of 10 volunteers. Groups can range
in size from 6-10. We ask group coordinators to guarantee a minimum of 6 people
per group.
Can high school groups volunteer?
High school group participation is welcomed. All students must be in ninth
grade or higher. Student groups must have a chaperone. Students can earn Bright
Futures/Community Service hours for the time they volunteer. Previous groups
have included National Honor Societies, broadcasting classes, journalism classes,
and senior class groups.
Is there a dress code?
Business casual dress is preferred. Shirts with company or group logos are
acceptable, but please avoid white or tiny patterns. Please do not wear anything
bearing endorsement for a controversial issue or political candidate. For groups,
company shirts are welcome, but please avoid group hats. It can get chilly
in the studio, so we recommend bringing a sweater or jacket.
If my organization is volunteering, will we be recognized?
Groups will receive on-air mentions during every break. Unfortunately, we cannot
display company/group banners on the set.
When is the volunteer schedule updated?
Our pledge schedule is updated with specific dates approximately two weeks
prior to each drive. You may pre-register and you will be notified of any shift
availability.
After selecting shifts, when do I receive a confirmation?
WPBT Channel 2 receives many requests to volunteer from individuals and groups
alike. We schedule on a first-come, first-serve basis, depending on group size
and special needs. We make every effort to update our posted schedule and assign
shifts that are most appropriate for each request. Confirmations and follow-up
usually occur two weeks in advance of each drive.
Can we tour the studios?
WPBT Channel 2 will endeavor to have a tour guide available during all pledge
shifts. Tours can be taken in between pledge breaks. If a pledge shift is extremely
busy, this feature is not always possible.
