Are YOU a Superstar?

Gain recognition for your awesome hours of volunteering.  Your first reward happens as early as 100 hours served with Access Sacramento.

A Superstar is an access Sacramento Member in good standing that is ready to give back to the organization in the form of Volunteerism.  A Superstar understands our mission, goals, and what exactly Public Access TV does for our community at large.

Why do we need Superstars?

Public Access TV is in crisis.  It is grossly misunderstood by the general public and often vilified and underfunded by those who would seek to end of Free Speech.  We are living in a crucial time of need as more of the community “cuts the cord” with Cable TV Providers, and our previously stable funding shrinks.  We have made the leap to Streaming, VOD, OTT, and Digital outlets; however, there have been no new pools of money created by these new platforms to support Public Access Stations.  Proposals to tax the internet for the purpose of funding Public Access been declined in legislation.

We need Super-Stars to help fill a gap in labor as we cannot afford to hire many people at this time.  We also need to foster a sense of strong community that takes pride in what we do and who we are.  We benefit hundreds of community members each year who may not fully realize how much they have been benefited.   By instilling volunteerism and cultivating a tight knit core to our organization, we will then be able to develop better funding.
