Bad timing, both Clear Channel and CBS have hiring freezes. Beasley and Greater Media don't seem to have any openings. However, there's tons of suburban stations around with possible opportunities at some decent outlets in Trenton, Atlantic City, Allentown, and we shouldn't leave out WBCB 1490 in Levittown. ;-) If you just want to keep your feet wet, there's also plenty of non-coms in the area too, where you could volunteer and have access to a production studio.
Are you looking do music formats, talk, or news? Trenton's New Jersey 101.5 and SoJo 104.9 are just across the river from Levittown, be sure to check them out. The local college stations often have non-student volunteers filling-in during the Summer break. Just some ideas to get you started.
Good luck! Sorry to hear about your mom.
