Public broadcasting volunteers are our partners, they are our connection to the community, they tell our story on Capitol Hill and at State Legislatures, they are our fundraisers, on-air hosts and most importantly they are our friends. They step up to the task - no challenge is too great. Take time today to nominate the outstanding volunteers at your station to be recognized by National Friends of Public Broadcasting.

The National Friends Awards are a great way to celebrate volunteers and let them know they're valued. It's a chance to recognize people's achievements and share stories that will motivate and inspire every station across the country.​ This year we honored 11 recipients from California, Washington, Texas, Kansas, Illinois, and New York! Congratulations!
