Learning > Community Outreach
In addition to its focus on education, KLRN also regularly initiates special outreach projects that shed light on the local issues explored in national PBS documentaries as well as needs reflected in the community. These efforts, conducted in collaboration with local agencies and organizations, reflect KLRN's unmatched ability to focus and raise public awareness.
Kids and Money
KLRN, with support from IBC, offers financial literacy workshops for parents and children (between the ages of 6 and 12 years old). These fun, family-oriented workshops include such topics as writing deposit and withdrawal slips, budgeting, and bank terminology. Free books and resources are provided to all participating families.

Take One Step
Being fit and eating right go hand-in-hand. And, they're fun and easy to do. Just ask the students at Macdonell Elementary School and Christen Middle School in Laredo. They've been 'taking one step' since January, and have been walking, jogging, and learning how to make some tasty, nutritious snacks.
