Anna CR engages individuals from the communities to volunteer with the station. The existing volunteers also provide station tours and orientations to the new volunteers. The first step is to attend a station orientation. After getting a station tour and learning all about the entity that is Anna Community Radio, the next step is to go through on-air training.

The communities are given training in radio production skills; they are encouraged to use the radio as the voice of the voiceless. Self-help group women, in particular, bring in their new-found freedom and empowerment into the radio station. The station has also donated radio sets to the community so that radio which is a medium that was forgotten after the advent of television had a rebirth.
