Parents are deeply concerned about the quality of education our schools can give their children.
Employers are deeply concerned about the need for highly skilled people who can keep up with constant changes in the workplace.

At a time when a transition to digital technology will soon expand stations opportunities for community service, the Association of America s Public Television Stations Community Partnership Program is helping its members hone the skills that will ensure success in this exciting new arena. Now in the process of pioneering the use of online and digital communication to address the most pressing social, cultural and educational needs of their communities, America s Public Television Stations are committed to strong local alliances to address national priorities in our new digital age. The Community Partnership Program helps make that commitment a reality.
