Nevada County Now is a local community program that is much more than just the average news show.

If you are looking to get involved with your community…..then this may just the thing you are looking for. Nevada County Now is our flagship project that not only delivers news to the community, but helps people learn all of the aspects of live and pre-produced television and all that goes into creating it. NCM is looking for folks who are wishing to volunteer in front and behind the camera. It is the ultimate volunteer project that benefits all of the community.

Below are the positions:

  • Hosts (on-camera) - the “host” role is the person that is delivering information to the camera, as well as introducing and chatting with guests. We have both regular and guest host positions. We also have field host positions. These cover art, music, stage, events, sports, history, and more. Host roles include delivering either the entire program, or a segment of it. Hosts will also engage with a variety of people. Everyone who wants to be in front of the camera must do a test screening.

  • Narrative Storyteller (voice-over) - This is for individuals who like telling a story about a topic. They are the voice behind what the audience is seeing. This role helps write the copy for the stories, as well as recording the voice-over for them.

  • Graphics - This position is for those who like creating the look of a project. The needs are fairly simple and usually require a fast turn around.

  • Producer/Crew Trainee - If you are someone who would like to learn what it takes to put together a “live recorded” news show or a field story, well look no further. This is both rewarding and a pretty easy process to learn.

  • Field Crew - If you are someone who wants to help gather b-roll or shoot field interviews, consider becoming an NCM intern.

  • Promotional - If you are someone who likes spreading the word, then this is a perfect project for you. It includes everything from writing promo scripts, to passing out “how to watch” cards at events.

Volunteers are eligible for our volunteer swap program.
