KPFA 94.1 Apprenticeship Program is now accepting applications!!!!

The KPFA First Voice Apprenticeship is an intensive 18-month Affirmative Action training program that
brings primarily women and people of color into the
field of radio. The program is intended to remedy
discrimination and create equality for those who have
been underrepresented in media.
Since 1985, this program has taught radio production
and engineering to people from many cultural, social,
political and ethnic backgrounds. Each participant
leaves the program with a greater understanding of
expressing their first voice through media to build
bridges with different communities.
