Description: In 2000, Congress and the FCC inaugurated a new designation called Low Power FM, for non-commercial and non-profit radio. The LPFM designation fosters diversity on the public airwaves, redistributing attention away from national commercial conglomerates. LCR is designated LPFM. We share that initiative's values. Community Radio is more than a medium. It's a shared set of values, a desire to bring the airwaves to ALL people.

Core tasks: Write/produce public service announcements; Manage social media platforms; Help plan and promote fundraising efforts.
