About KQED
KQED MISSION STATEMENT
KQED is for everyone who wants to be more. Our television, radio, digital
media and educational services change lives for the better and help
individuals and communities achieve their full potential.
KQED serves the people of Northern California with a community-supported alternative
to commercial media. We provide citizens with the knowledge they need to make
informed decisions; convene community dialogue; bring the arts to everyone; and
engage audiences to share their stories. We help students and teachers thrive
in 21st century classrooms, and take people of all ages on journeys of exploration—exposing
them to new people, places and ideas.
We celebrate diversity, embrace innovation, value lifelong learning and partner
with those who share our passion for public service.
