Outreach Series

Representatives from area non-profits, neighborhood groups and government agencies find it easy to participate in our five Outreach series, which cover a variety of subjects of interest to the community. In addition to expanding viewers’ knowledge about the local community, the series’ intent is to help stir interest in video production classes and the subsequent production of programming on TBCN by neighborhood and not-for-profit groups.
