Why We’re Here: The Powerful Impact of Public Broadcasters When They Turn Outward

Why We’re Here is about what it takes for individuals and organizations to be more relevant and significant in the lives of their communities. Drawing on lessons from their work with public broadcasters, Richard Harwood and Aaron Leavy, of the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation, document how these organizations (and others like them) innovate and become more intentional in relating to communities, engaging and mobilizing people and ultimately deepening their impact on people’s lives.

This book offers lessons for any organization or group that seeks to be actively engaged in communities, providing real-world examples of organizations turning outward and demonstrating incredible potential to create change and deepen their relevance.
