Communications Coordinator

**About CJNU**

CJNU is Winnipeg’s English language community licenced radio station - dedicated to accentuating the positive. We work closely with fellow non-profits, charities, arts and cultural organizations, community groups, and small local businesses, to shine a light on the good things happening in our community - choosing to share our platform with as many as possible, and work hard to amplify the voices of others to help tell their stories.

We are a not-for-profit, community service co-operative, incorporated under the Manitoba Cooperatives Act - governed by a board of directors with a mix of persons from media, business and broader community backgrounds. As a CRTC licensed broadcaster, we are a federally regulated employer.

Roughly a third of our funding each year is from ‘direct listener support’ - through membership in our co-op, contributions to the station made during our annual Pledge Drive, or through fundraising events. The remaining two-thirds of our revenue is generated through sponsorships, partnerships, and advertising. We do not receive any regular funding from government, or from other funding bodies.

CJNU is powered almost exclusively by volunteers - with over 130 people (and counting) involved in keeping the radio station on the air - supported by a small team of staff, which we hope you're interested in joining, in the role of Communications Coordinator
