KPLU Driving Directions
Parking Pass and Directions to KPLU
Thank you for signing up to volunteer for our fall drive. Volunteering is simple, fun and a great way to meet staff and on-air personalities as well as other KPLU fans. You should arrive 10-15 minutes before your shift for training and information updates. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served for shifts during those times and light snacks will be provided in between.

Please bring along the parking pass, that will be mailed to you, on the day of your shift and place it on your dash. The parking pass is good for any PLU lot but excludes reserved spots (i.e. handicap, carpool, etc). Driving directions are below.

If you have any questions about your shift or have special needs please call us toll free at 1-800-NPR-KPLU or locally at (253)535-7758 or email at info@kplu.org. If you are calling in regards to a group volunteer shift please contact Mary Dunaway at (206)922-1021 or mdunaway@kplu.org.

Again-many thanks-we look forward to seeing you soon!
