KALW Public Media Bay Area is not just a radio station. With deep roots in the communities that make the Bay Area home, we amplify our region’s diverse and vibrant communities with pop-up arts activations, DJ sets, panels and discussions, youth media training, election coverage—and much more. Our community engagement platform is a testament to our commitment to serving the Bay’s rich communities in programming that informs and inspires a growing audience.

Whether serving on a panel at a partner organization or spinning records at major Bay Area music festivals, KALW is keeping the Bay of, by, and for originals. Check out some of ways we show up in the gallery below.

Through our community engagement work, our team of producers, reporters, journalists, and cultural workers bring the power of live radio, cultural programming, and civic engagement directly to the community—making every gathering a celebration of connection.
