About San Francisco Community Radio

The station is volunteer-run, produces a mix of music, cultural and public-affairs programming, and provides hands-on radio education and training for students and community members.

Notable achievements

Established sustained education partnerships

Built ongoing educational programming with local institutions, including collaborations with Lycée Français, San Francisco State University students, City College broadcasting students, and a May 2023 partnership with the Salesian Boys & Girls Club to train youth in radio production and air student-produced shows.

Maintained year-round service and financial sustainability

Operates a continuous 24/7 online stream while broadcasting scheduled FM hours, and sustained donor and underwriting support through local fundraising and underwriting programs to support volunteer-driven operations.
