When are GPB's Membership Campaigns?
Television Membership Campaigns take place in March, June, August and December. Radio Membership Campaigns occur in the Spring and Fall. We schedule individuals and groups Monday-Thursday evenings from approximately 6:30-11:30pm. On the weekends we have shifts from approximately 8am-1pm, 2-7pm and 7-11pm. Please note that these are approximations, and that the actual schedule depends on the pledge programming.

Is there free parking?
Free parking is available in our parking garage.
What is the minimum age for volunteering?
All participants must be at least 16 years of age.
Is there a dress code?
Business casual dress is preferred. Shirts with company or group logos are acceptable in any color but white (white clothing logos cause a glare on camera). It can get chilly in the studio, so we recommend bringing a sweater or jacket.
If my group is volunteering, how many people can we bring?
Groups can range in size from 12-25. We ask group coordinators to guarantee a minimum of twelve people per group.
If my group is volunteering, will we be recognized?
A group of twelve or more will receive on-air mentions during their shift. Your group name will be read verbally, and your group logo will appear on the screen. We do not display company/group banners on the set.
After selecting shifts, when do I receive a confirmation?
GPB 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. Confirmation and follow-up usually occur three to four weeks in advance of each drive.
Will meals be served?
While volunteering at GPB, volunteers receive a complementary meal provided by Carole Parks Catering Company and beverages provided by The Atlanta Coca-Cola Bottling Company.
