TRADITIONALLY, TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS EXPERIENCING FIRST-EPISODE PSYCHOSIS (FEP) HAVE BEEN PULLED OUT OF SCHOOLS AND/OR SOCIETY ONLY TO BEGIN A LIFELONG JOURNEY OF SPOTTY TREATMENT, RECURRING EPISODES, AND UNFULFILLED HOPES OF A CAREER, HAPPY MARRIAGE, AND CHILDREN.

ORCHESTRATING CHANGE THIS DOCUMENTARY TELLS THE INSPIRING STORY OF THE ME2/ORCHESTRA, THE ONLY ORCHESTRA IN THE WORLD CREATED BY AND FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS AND THOSE WHO SUPPORT THEM.

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | CHILDHOOD LOST: THE ADULTIFICATION OF AFRICAN AMERICAN GIRLS ADULTIFICATION: IT'S A DISTURBING PHENOMENON THAT'S HAPPENING ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND WITH NOTABLE IMPACT RIGHT HERE IN THE PITTSBURGH REGION. ADULTIFICATION IS A TERM USED TO DESCRIBE THE PERCEPTION THAT AFRICAN AMERICAN GIRLS ARE MORE ADULT, MORE AGGRESSIVE, MORE SEXUALLY AWARE AND LESS IN NEED OF SUPPORT AND CARE THAN THEIR WHITE COUNTERPARTS. IT'S AN ISSUE THAT CAN HAVE LIFELONG, GENERATIONAL IMPLICATIONS FROM LOST EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, TO THE THREAT OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND A DIRECT LINK TO THE SCHOOL-TO-PRISON PIPELINE FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN GIRLS. CHILDHOOD LOST: THE ADULTIFICATION OF AFRICAN AMERICAN GIRLS PREMIERED NOVEMBER 19 AND WAS REBROADCAST ON NOVEMBER 23. THE THIRTY-MINUTE DOCUMENTARY SEEKS TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS AROUND THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE.

STARVED: OUR FOOD INSECURITY CRISIS MORE THAN A MILLION PEOPLE IN PENNSYLVANIA ARE HUNGRY BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD OR DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO HEALTHY FOOD. MANY OTHERS ARE UNSURE OF HOW, OR WHERE THEY MIGHT GET THEIR NEXT PROPER MEAL. AND NOW, THE PANDEMIC HAS EXPOSED THE GAPS IN THE FOOD SYSTEMS IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. WQED'S LOCAL DOCUMENTARY EXAMINED FOOD INSECURITY AFFECTING THOUSANDS IN THE REGION. STARVED: OUR FOOD INSECURITY CRISIS PREMIERED NOVEMBER 5 AND WAS REBROADCAST ON NOVEMBER 9. FOR SOME, FOOD INSECURITY IS A MATTER OF FINANCIAL NEED. BUT OFTEN, ENTIRE COMMUNITIES ARE CUT OFF FROM PROPER NUTRITION BECAUSE THERE ARE NO GROCERY STORES NEARBY. THESE SO-CALLED "FOOD DESERTS" ARE NOT THE ONLY CHALLENGE. SOME NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE TURNED INTO "FOOD SWAMPS" - WITH A PROLIFERATION OF FAST-FOOD RESTAURANTS AND NO HEALTHY OPTIONS. THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC HAS COMPOUNDED THE PROBLEM, CREATING HOME ISOLATION AND LIMITED ACCESS TO NUTRITIOUS FOOD. THIS DOCUMENTARY EXAMINES FOOD INSECURITY AS A SOCIETAL PROBLEM, IDENTIFYING THE CAUSES AND EXPLORING THE MANY WAYS IN WHICH THE GOVERNMENT, NON-PROFITS, FARMERS AND INDIVIDUALS ARE WORKING TO BRING NUTRITIOUS MEALS TO THE TABLES OF THOSE WHO NEED IT.

ABOUT FUTURE JOBS IN 2018, WQED LAUNCHED FUTURE JOBS, A MAJOR MULTIPLATFORM INITIATIVE TO ADDRESS THE REGION'S WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES. FUTURE JOBS WAS EXTREMELY WELL-RECEIVED BY THE COMMUNITY WITH STRONG COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND CRITICAL ACCLAIM INCLUDING A REGIONAL EMMY AWARD FOR THE OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY SERVICE INITIATIVE IN THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION. FUTURE JOBS CONTENT, INCLUDING TELEVISION PROGRAMS, A SERIES OF DIGITAL VIDEOS, WEBINARS AND ONLINE RESOURCES, RAISED AWARENESS ABOUT HIGH-DEMAND CAREERS NOW AND IN THE FUTURE, AND HELPED PEOPLE FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS TO CONNECT WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRAINING AND EDUCATION TO ACQUIRE THE NEEDED SKILLS. THIS CONTENT AIRED ON WQED TV AND WAS POSTED ONLINE AND SHARED ON SOCIAL MEDIA TO REACH THE BROADEST POSSIBLE AUDIENCE. ADDITIONALLY, WQED FACILITATED A SERIES OF IN-SCHOOL SCREENING AND DISCUSSION EVENTS FOR MIDDLE- AND HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS. DURING THE 2019-2020 SCHOOL YEAR, OVER 4,000 STUDENTS IN OUR REGION HAVE PARTICIPATED IN FUTURE JOBS EVENTS TO LEARN ABOUT CAREER READINESS, AND THE DEMAND FOR THIS CONTENT BY SCHOOL DISTRICTS CONTINUES TO BE STRONG. ADDITIONAL FUTURE JOBS EVENTS IN THE COMMUNITY HELPED TO BRING THIS INFORMATION TO ADULT JOB SEEKERS AND CAREER CHANGERS. WQED'S SECOND PHASE OF THE FUTURE JOBS INITIATIVE INCLUDES FOUR TELEVISION PROGRAMS AND A CONTINUATION OF THE DIGITAL VIDEO SERIES. WQED WILL ALSO CONTINUE ITS COMMUNITY OUTREACH EFFORTS, INCLUDING SCREENING AND DISCUSSION EVENTS (VIRTUAL OR IN-SCHOOL) FOR STUDENTS, AND ADDITIONAL EVENTS (VIRTUAL OR IN-PERSON) THROUGH PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS CATALYST CONNECTIONS AND THE PITTSBURGH TECHNOLOGY COUNCIL. BROADENING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF "LEARNING AT HOME" TO "LEARNING NEIGHBORHOODS" "LEARNING AT HOME" WAS AN INITIATIVE IN WHICH WQED PARTNERED WITH ALL SEVEN PENNSYLVANIA PUBLIC MEDIA STATIONS DURING THE PANDEMIC. THE RESULT EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS AND WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THE CONCEPT MOVING FORWARD WITH "LEARNING NEIGHBORHOODS." LEARNING AT HOME WAS BORN OUT OF THE EXPLOSION OF THE REMOTE-LEARNING NEED THAT WAS CREATED DURING COVID-19. AS MORE PENNSYLVANIA SCHOOLS OPENED THEIR DOORS TO IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION AND CONTINUE TO OFFER HYBRID AND REMOTE OPTIONS TO STUDENTS, IT IS CRITICAL FOR US TO EXAMINE HOW WE USE AND HOW STUDENTS, TEACHERS, SCHOOLS, CAREGIVERS UNDERSTAND "LEARNING NEIGHBORHOODS." WE KNOW THAT LEARNING DOES NOT STOP WHEN CHILDREN LEAVE THE CLASSROOM; IT DOES NOT STOP WHEN THEY LEAVE HOME. LEARNING HAPPENS WHEN KIDS ARE AT THE GROCERY STORE, WHEN THEY ARE AT THE ZOO, WHEN THEY ARE AT CAMP, WHEN THEY ARE AT THEIR PLACE OF WORSHIP, THEIR DOCTOR'S OFFICE, THE LAUNDROMAT, THE BARBERSHOP, THE NEARBY PARK, AND SO ON LEARNING HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN KIDS ARE OUT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE CONCEPT OF A LEARNING NEIGHBORHOOD IS A NATURAL OUTGROWTH OF HOW CHILDREN DEVELOP. WE ALSO KNOW THAT LEARNING REQUIRES A NEIGHBORHOOD OF PARTNERS. A LEARNING NEIGHBORHOOD IS AN ECOSYSTEM OF FORMAL AND INFORMAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND EXPERIENCES, WORKING TOGETHER IN AN ORGANIZED, INTENTIONAL AND SCAFFOLDED EFFORT TO SUPPORT CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. THIS REQUIRES COORDINATION AND COLLABORATION AMONG SCHOOL LEADERS, TEACHERS, INFORMAL EDUCATORS, FAMILY MEMBERS, LOCAL FOUNDATIONS AND CORPORATIONS. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | LOCAL PUBLIC MEDIA STATIONS ARE MISSION-DRIVEN TO ENGAGE, EDUCATE, CONNECT, AND ARE IN THE UNIQUE POSITION TO CONVENE THIS WORK ALONGSIDE COMMUNITY PARTNERS, INCLUDING; SCHOOLS, PUBLIC LIBRARIES, MUSEUMS, BUSINESSES, LOCAL CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS, AS PART OF A LOCAL COLLABORATION DEVOTED TO SUPPORTING THE LEARNING NEEDS OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITIES. LEARNING NEIGHBORHOODS DEMONSTRATE THE VALUE THAT PUBLIC MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDE TO A COMMUNITY, IRRESPECTIVE OF A PANDEMIC. OUR ABILITY TO REACH INTO OUR SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES ASSISTS OUR PARTNERS IN CONNECTING DEEPLY TO THEIR COMMUNITIES, MEETING THEIR GOALS, AND SHARING THOSE GOALS WITH STAKEHOLDERS.
