2010-11 Ambassadors

Entering into it's sixth year, our Ambassador program provides an opportunity for college students to represent the station. The program exposes younger generations to the powerful voice and genius that is PBS. Ambassador's play a vital role in helping WQPT gain greater exposure, while assisting the station with its ongoing Educational Outreach mission and initiatives in a direct hands-on method.

"Ambassadors are a highly trained extension of our volunteer team," said WQPT Special Projects Coordinator, Bea Brasel. "Our Ambassadors traditionally return throughout their college years because the experience has been fulfilling and often come back as volunteers because they believe in the mission of public television,” said Ms. Brasel.

Sometimes overlooked, volunteering provides you with another method to show your support of the station.

See our 2010-2011 WQPT/PBS Ambassadors or learn how you can volunteer your time and make a difference to our viewers and the communities we serve.
