Calgary Arabia Radio started out as an independent two-hour Arabic radio show in Calgary and operated for seven years as such. Now, we’re expanding to a 24/7 online radio station that serves Arab X individuals from the SWANA (South West Asian and North African) diaspora in Canada. The new radio station will be in Arabic, English and, possibly, French.

We are forming a team of volunteers from all over Canada to work with us pre-launch, during the launch (2023), and during our operations after that.

We’re looking for volunteers who want to contribute to a diverse independent media scene in Canada in the following positions:

• Graphic design
• Web design
• Social media management and content creation
• Audio recording & editing
• Video recording & editing
• Article/blog post writing
• Production (sourcing out guests, pre-interviewing, and soliciting sources)
• Sales
• Marketing

Calgary Arabia radio has been a very successful media outlet geared towards the Canadian Arab community across Canada since 2015. We’ve been accredited by and covered the Cannes International Film Festival twice, the Academy Awards, the Toronto International Film Festival three times, the Calgary International Film Festival numerous times, Toronto Fashion Week, the Calgary Arab Film Nights Festival for seven years, and many other events and festivals.

Training and mentoring will be provided to those who need it based on skill level and past experience.

To apply, please indicate which role you’re most interested in and send your resume and a letter of interest or cover letter to volunteer@calgaryarabia.com.
