COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
PBS39 is offering IPFW students or student organizations a unique publicity opportunity during our upcoming pledge drive. Several times during the drive there are “live pledge shows” which we broadcast from our studio. If no paying underwriter is found, PBS39 makes this premium air time available to nonprofit teams at no charge. If a team of IPFW students would like to do this, you would need to supply 6 volunteers to answer our pledge phones on-camera. They can wear matching IPFW shirts and IPFW (and their student organization, if applicable) will be mentioned on the air during the live show broadcast. However, your team will be on a “stand by” basis. If a paying sponsor is found, your team will be cancelled (we usually can give you more than a day’s notice that your shift has been cancelled).
Below are the available shifts to do this. To sign up a “stand by team” of 6 people from IPFW please call or email Christine Zygmont (484-8839; christinezygmont@wfwa.org). I hope to see some IPFW students on the air!

IPFW is one of a few select campuses which administer the Midwest Campus Compact Citizen-
Scholar (M3C) Fellows Program. The M3C Program is a ten-state initiative, led by the Wisconsin
Campus Compact that is committed to integrating education with civic engagement among cam-
puses across the Midwest.
The M3C Fellows Program is an AmeriCorps Education Award Program. Fellows must complete 300
hours of community service (some of which can be training), recruit 5 volunteers and complete an
online seminar within one calendar year.
Some of our current students are working on projects such as mentoring or tutoring youth, assisting
in after school programs, serving as a Big Brother or Big Sister, spending time with senior citizens,
working with animal rescue groups, neighborhood health clinics and many other projects.
