Berks Community Television is a volunteer organization. Volunteers serve on our Board of Directors and various committees, produce and host programs, help in the office, work during our Octoberfest Fund Drive and serve as technical volunteers. College interns are welcome.

Technical Volunteers

Each Technical Volunteer plays an integral part in BCTV's live telecasts, whether operating a camera, answering phones, or assisting our staff in other ways. Depending on your skills, interest, and availability, you may become more involved in learning about and participating in other facets of BCTV's telecasting (studio set-up, camera switching and remote telecast operations.) Technical volunteer work hours are very flexible. A volunteer may work 2 hours per week, 2 hours per month, or whatever arrangement you make with BCTV's Volunteer Coordinator.

Internships

College students pursuing a degree in the communications field are invited to gain practical, on-the-job technical training at Berks Community Television.

Technical
Internships

BCTV is accepting applications for production internships for all scholastic semesters. Interns gain hands-on experience with BCTV production staff in event coverage, camera and technical operations, audio/video components, and live programming. Interns generally work between 20 and 40 hours weekly.

The internship is unpaid, and applicants should be enrolled with an institution of higher learning which offers college credit for internships. Selected interns are evaluated on learning ability, proficiency, initiative, and reliability; Unofficial, "between terms" internships are also considered.

Interest in community activities and events of local interest is recommended. Interns are required to act and dress in a professional manner while associated with BCTV. BCTV is located at 7th and Penn Streets in downtown Reading, PA.
