At the beginning of this year, 4ZZZ became a member of Volunteer Queensland. We’re so proud to be a member of the organisation, particularly since the love and passion of volunteers is what keeps the 4ZZZ airwaves going.
Thank you so much to Volunteer Queensland and Lucy Stokes for the feature article on 4ZZZ!
It’s a beautiful read and includes interviews with some of our volunteers including Heather Anderson, Georgia Manthey and Ben Ryan.
Here are some quotes from the article if you want to go and have a closer read...
“Community radio is where identities are represented,” Anderson says. “It’s one of the few places where people can truly represent themselves, where communities that are often filtered out of mainstream media can tell their own stories in their own words.”
“At any stage of life, community radio offers a place where your contribution matters. The station’s volunteer base spans generations and backgrounds with students gaining their first experience in media, career changers discovering new directions, retirees finally pursuing something they’d set aside.”
