Making a Difference: Free Events, Family Fun and Conversations That Matter
23 Jul 2025 inAt Arkansas PBS, we’re more than what you see on screen. Yes, we stream, post and broadcast – but we also step outside our Conway headquarters and into the heart of Arkansas communities. For nearly 60 years, we’ve worked as your neighbor, creating meaningful connections around stories that matter. Education is at the core of everything we do, and our commitment to outreach means bringing free, accessible events directly to the public because as public television, we’re nothing without the people we serve. Through community engagement, we don’t just meet Arkansans – we reflect them.
