Bringing equity to the airwaves one member at a time

The Women’s Radio Collective formed in January of 2009 at CJAM 99.1 FM. Our mandate is to attract, train and retain female volunteers to create gender equity in campus-community radio. We offer opportunities for women to learn and develop broadcasting skills to produce their own alternative media. The collective fosters female empowerment on and off the airwaves, and encourages members to assert their feminist perspectives.

Have an old dress or suit kickin' around the house?


Do you have an old prom or semi-formal dress gathering dust in your closet? Why not donate it to a great cause! Building Community Partnerships and Family 2 Family are currently accepting formal wear for children in the Michigan foster care system.

As we all know, prom can be very expensive and many youth in foster care cannot afford the costs associated with this special night. You can help by donating your old prom dress, men's suit, jewelery, purse or dress shoes. Cash donations will also be accepted.

I personally donated a dress that I wore to my graduation a few years back; I encourage all members of the Women's Radio Collective and our listeners to comb through their closets when spring cleaning! Donations can be dropped off at CJAM during regular business hours, 10 AM to 5 PM from Monday to Friday.

For further information, call us at 519-971-3606. Donations should be in excellent condition.
