Mission: To provide a community-based, noncommercial radio service for the people living in the areas covered by the station's signal; to broadcast programs designed to serve the needs of those not currently served by other broadcast media; to be a voice of many voices offering a wide variety of people an opportunity to share their experiences, concerns, and perspectives with their neighbors over the WERU airwaves.

For Youth: Seeks volunteers for a variety of jobs: to man conference tables; to help archive shows; to plan and attend capital campaign events; to clean the station; and to get involved in other aspects of station operations, both on- and off-air. Offers volunteer training and orientation, with potential for individualized training.
