Public Service and Outreach Serving our audiences is at the core
of everything we do. Providing information to engage the public
is our mission. Many of our on-air offerings are extended by
services and local outreach that national cable networks simply
do not provide. - Ready to Learn and Ready to Lead in Literacy
are outreach programs that encourage parents and caregivers to
limit TV time for their children, watch with the children and
use our programs as a learning tool, along with related books
and activities. ValleyPBS conducts dozens of workshops annually
for parents, teachers and caregivers, impacting thousands of
children. - PBS.org is the most frequently visited K-12 web
site. Educators visit it more often then those from CNN, The New
York Times, The Library of Congress and the Smithsonian
Institute. - PBS.org features TeacherSource, an online one-stop
resource for teachers to obtain more than 3,000 free lesson
plans and activities, based on national and state standards. -
