VOLUNTEER KUDOS AND OPPORTUNITIES

It's not an exaggeration to say that without the contributions of volunteers, Access Tucson could not televise in-depth coverage of community events including the Tucson Family Arts Festival, Sports Extravaganza, TUSD Latino Student Recognition or the City Council Election Special.

Providing television production for the town of Marana in the north; to Sauharita in the south, volunteers man the studio cameras, switchers, audio boards, shoot using field cameras, and provide editing services.

Member-produced shows such as The Pastor's Study, Noche de Sonora,The Stupid Show, Native Talk, Code Six Four II, Valley Views would not reach thousands of viewers without their volunteer crews.

Elected by Access Tucson members, the Board of Directors is all volunteers.

Here are the steps to take to volunteer at Access Tucson:

You must be a member of Access Tucson and certified to run the equipment.
Membership is free. Stop by our facility located at 124 E. Broadway to fill out a membership form or download a copy and turn it in, then sign up for the free Orientation class. Once you've taken these simple steps, sign up for one or more of our classes to become certified on the different types of video gear.
(Helpful Hint to get on the volunteer fast track): After you've finished the Orientation Class, sign up for the Basic Studio Cam-op class. This is a $10.00 deposit class; when you complete the class; your money is refunded. Plus, you are now certified and can run studio cameras on many different shoots!
