American Family
Using American Family - Journey of Dreams as a centerpiece, KQED Education Network spotlighted Latino health issues in the Bay Area through a series of community outreach activities and a unique youth media campaign. By expanding on previous outreach successes and strengthening existing relationships with Latino organizations, EdNet endeavored to enhance its relationship with Latino communities, raise an awareness of health issues and resources in the Bay Area, increase viewership of the program and bring new audiences to KQED.
