ITVS Community is the national community engagement program of the Independent Television Service (ITVS) and the Emmy Award-winning PBS series Independent Lens. Through Community Engagement Campaigns in support of groundbreaking, independent films, our innovative educational product Community Classroom and our flagship community outreach program, Community Cinema, ITVS Community works to bring communities together and connect them with information, resources and opportunities for education, engagement and positive change.

ITVS Community builds on a 15-year legacy of community engagement programming and makes public broadcasting into a powerful resource for individuals, communities and organizations working on key social issues around the country. To learn about upcoming events in your area, preview new outreach and educational resources and network with others using film as a tool for social change, please join the ITVS Community Network.
