Have a Voice. Share What You Love. Go On the Air.

KYRS Thin Air Community Radio is inviting YOU to host your own radio show.

KYRS isn’t corporate radio. It’s your station, powered by volunteers, fueled by curiosity, and rooted in Spokane’s creative and cultural life. For more than 23 years, community members just like you have stepped behind the mic to share music, ideas, stories, and perspectives you won’t hear anywhere else on the air.

Hosting a show on KYRS is a long-term volunteer commitment, but you won’t be thrown into the deep end. You’ll receive broadcast training, ongoing support, and become part of a welcoming, passionate community of programmers. Many of our hosts have been on the air since the station’s earliest days, and they’re still loving it.

If you’ve ever thought, “There should be a show about this,” this is your sign.

All ages and skill levels are welcome! Please wear clothing that can get dirty, including long sleeves, long pants, and closed-toed shoes.

Activities are tailored to youth interest, and may include arts and crafts, PE type games (relays, dodgeball), pickleball, ping pong, board games, cooking, homework help, and more. We take a collaborative approach to mentorship, with several mentors in place each week.

Your Purpose

Treat participants with patience and encouragement.

Support cooperative games and shared art experiences.

Model turn-taking and positive social language.

Celebrate effort rather than outcomes.

Watch for wandering or sensory needs and redirect calmly.

Help children experience success in group interaction.

Join us behind the scenes on our 5th Annual Putt Putt Pour Mini-Golf Tournament in historic downtown Walla Walla. Volunteers will be partnered with teams as their "Marshal" that guides them along the tournament course. Marshals will help keep team scores, keep participants moving throughout the course, and help facilitate participant needs. Marshals will remain with their partnered teams from 11:30 am - 3:30 pm. Other volunteers will help assemble course equipment prior to and after the event. 

Donations are an essential part of getting food to our partner programs, food pantries, meal sites, and shelters in Pierce County. However, we see a decrease in food donations even though the need for food has increased. You can help by hosting a Food & Fund Drive with EFN! The food you donate will go directly to our 75+ Partner Programs to give to our neighbors in need. The funds you raise will be used to purchase food and pay freight for donated truckloads of food (if you decide to raise funds).

We want to encourage you to collect peanut butter for your drive! Peanut butter is a very versatile food and great source of protein, so we love receiving it.

Role Overview 

Rainier Athletes' (RA) mission is to affirm our youth’s sense of purpose and belonging by intentionally connecting their core community of teachers, coaches, families, and mentors. Once selected, each student is paired with a dedicated one-on-one mentor in elementary and middle school and a Squad Leader in high school. Each student is also sponsored to participate in sports/extra-curricular activities year-round throughout their duration with Rainer Athletes. Students begin their RA journey in 4th grade and continue through high school graduation and beyond.  

To sustain our impact with the growing number of Rainier Athletes high school students and families, we are seeking enthusiastic, dedicated individuals to serve as Squad Leaders for small groups of high school students. Squads consist of four or five students of similar ages. Squad Leaders are tasked with building relationships with students in their squad(s) as well as their students’ families, teachers, and others in the community. 

Responsibilities include coordinating logistics and prepping for weekly hour-long Squad Meet-Ups. These Squad Meet-Ups may include topical discussions, study sessions, or other activities to strengthen relationships and build towards each student’s next step plan after high school. Collaboration is a key element to the program’s success; Squad Leaders will have hour-long weekly formal opportunities to connect with other Squad Leaders and RA’s High School Program Manager to share highlights, challenges, and best practices.

When housing is disrupted in communities after a disaster it can be difficult for some people to find new long-term housing. The Shelter Resident Transition Service Associates help shelter residents create personalized plans to overcome roadblocks and transition to sustainable housing solutions. They play a critical role in reducing disaster-caused displacement and aiding in long-term recovery for individuals.

Do you have the flexibility to deploy for two weeks to support communities impacted by disaster? The Red Cross is looking to train willing individuals 18 and older who want to alleviate human suffering by shortening the time of disaster-caused displacement. All training and travel expenses are fully covered by the Red Cross. 

To join our team, visit: www.redcross.org/volunteer or contact your local chapter at JoinUsNW@redcross.org
