Volunteer With OHM Radio
Community radio runs on people who care.
If you love music, media, events, and connecting with Charleston, there’s a place for you at Ohm Radio. We’re a small staff, and our volunteers are a vital part of what keeps the station running — from supporting live events to helping amplify the voices and music that make our community unique.
