Community Access Media Alliance is the national body for the 12 independently-owned Community Access Media stations across Aotearoa. Our vision is for Aotearoa to have a vibrant, diverse, innovative, and sustainable Community Access Media sector valued for its democratic, community, and cultural uniqueness.
Wanting to be a broadcaster, radio host, content-creator, programme-maker, show-maker, or podcaster? Our 12 stations can help you make your own media. On-air or online, radio is a simple and inexpensive way to talk to your community-of-interest in any language.
Whether you’re a government entity, NGO, non-profit, company, or organisation, we can help you tailor your messages to speak directly and authentically to your target audience – in their language.
Now more than ever, local voices need to be heard. We’re building a more inclusive media landscape — one where everyone has access to create, participate, and thrive. But we can’t do it without you.

Your donation can help create a future where media is made by, for, and about the community.

Access Radio Taranaki
In this episode of Volly Journeys, Marcia chats with friend and neighbour Shelly Worthington about finding community through volunteering. Shelly and her husband, Mark, moved to Tarata 15 years ago and quickly became involved in local projects. Most recently, Shelly has helped lead the renovations of Tarata Hall and been involved in the restoration of the historic Tarata Church. Along the way, neighbours have become treasured friends who now feel like family. Shelly shares why every project needs a story, encouraging us to share our why, ask for support, and never underestimate people's generosity. And when the job is done, don't forget to celebrate together and say thank you.
