Interested in training with us? It’s easy.
All of our on-air volunteers and producers complete training at 2XX. 2XX is a great place to learn, make alternative media and build community. The journey will continue!
Training takes place in small groups (up to 5 people) and can be a great way to meet other 2XX volunteers who are getting started.
Training groups are run in accordance with demand. There is a fee to cover the costs of training.
Contact us via the webform if you wish to apply to present a show or if you are interested in training.
