PBS North Carolina’s offices and studios are at the Joseph and Kathleen Bryan Communications Center in Research Triangle Park.

PBS North Carolina welcomed hundreds of educators, including Kezia “Kate” Goodwin, to our Impact Summit at ECU in June.

Thank you for investing in our youngest learners!

Beyond the programs and content you enjoy, your membership support fuels PBS North Carolina’s mission and turns inspiration into action through powerful storytelling, statewide initiatives and education resources. Thank you!

Over the past year, PBS North Carolina has hosted 72 events impacting over 127,664 North Carolinians.

In June, hundreds of educators and caregivers joined us at East Carolina University in Greenville for our third annual Impact Early Childhood Education Summit. This conference presents new strategies for helping our youngest learners (birth to grade 3) grow strong roots in literacy and beyond.

Children who receive a strong foundation are more likely to thrive in school and in life. However, too often those who nurture our youngest learners are in need of professional development and support. The Impact Summit offers them the opportunity to build new skills, find resources and connect with peers and allies.

Thank you for being a member and investing in our communities. Your generosity ensures that this wonderful state we call home continues to support all—from our youngest audiences to curious minds of all ages.

WE APPRECIATE YOU The Impact Early Childhood Education Summit was made possible with the support of these partners: • NC Department of Health and Human Services’ Division of Child Development and Early Education • The William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust • The F.M. Kirby Foundation • ECU Health Maynard Children’s Hospital • Alice and Britt Preyer
