pbCAM is always looking for volunteers interested in helping us bring the voice of our communities to our viewers. Opportunities include but are not limited to making PowerPoint slides for the Community Bulletin Board, filming local events, timing out and cueing videos and producing your own television program.

Community Bulletin Board
Are you skilled with PowerPoint? Would you like to learn PowerPoint? If so, consider volunteering for our Community Bulletin Board. We can teach you how to use PowerPoint effectively to make great looking bulletin notices for area events and organizations. No previous experience is necessary or required. This work is convenient, too, if you own PowerPoint at home or have access to a computer with PowerPoint. You can simply create slides wherever you like and email them into us! Contact us [1] today to set up a free individual training class and get started volunteering with pbCAM.

Producing Local Events / Volunteer Camera Operator
Are you good with a video camera? Have you ever wanted to try using one? Now is your chance! Volunteer with pbCAM to tape local events such as town meetings, school board meetings, local athletic events, parades and more and we'll teach you how to set up the equipment and operate a camera. Contact us [2] today to set up a free individual training class and get taping events or volunteering as a camera operator for pbCAM.

Directing Town of Plymouth Meetings
Not only can you volunteer to tape meetings, but you can also receive training on live event production. If you take this training, you can volunteer to direct Town of Plymouth government meetings such as the Selectboard, Planning Board and Zoning Board. If you volunteer to direct one of these meetings you can be paid a $8 per hour stipend per meeting. Contact us [3] today for more information on directing meetings for the Town of Plymouth.

Producing Your Own Show
Part of the power of pbACT-20 and community media in general is the ability for community members to become producers and let their voices be heard. pbACT-20 is especially in need of locally produced programming at the moment and we'd like to invite you to be part of the solution! If you are an eligible Public Access User and have submitted a Statement of Compliance then you are ready to begin producing and submitting your own show.

Don't have the equipment to produce a show? That's okay, we do! Our equipment is available for Public Access Users to borrow for the purpose of producing their own show and/or taping their own events. We'll train you on the proper set up and use of the equipment to help you get started. Read our First-Time Submission instructions [4] or contact us [5] today for more information on producing your own show and/or borrowing our equipment.

Also, be sure to take advantage of our weekly Producers' Meetings and Production Nights! At the Producers Meetings we'll help you plan your program and get ready for production. At the Production Nights we'll schedule you for a block of time when you can use our facilities and equipment for live-to-tape productions or non-linear editing with technical guidance and assistance from staff.
