Who We Are
We are a trusted source of content that promotes educational equity, delights its audiences, and inspires everyone to engage with the world around them.
Our Mission
Inspiring Possibility
"GBH enriches people's lives through programs and services that educate, inspire, and entertain, fostering citizenship and culture, the joy of learning, and the power of diverse perspectives."
That mission continually drives us to develop robust programs and resources for the public.
We’re supporting vulnerable learners through K-12 initiatives that inspire curiosity and creative thinking. We're a trusted news organization that is driven by facts rather than factions. We're promoting science literacy so that people can make informed decisions about our changing world. We're championing the arts and giving the public access to both the greatest performers and emerging talent. And we're constantly innovating to ensure that our services are available and relevant to all.
Serving the public interest drives everything that we do, and every commitment that we make is to promote knowledge so that everyone can appreciate and engage with the world around them.
GBH makes a commitment to:
- Foster an informed and active citizenry
- Make knowledge and the creative life of the arts, sciences, and humanities available to the widest possible public
- Reflect the diversity of our audience, inviting a sense of inclusion and a better understanding of each other
- Improve, for all people, access to public media
- Be a trusted partner to parents and educators, providing programs and services that promote the healthy development of children
- Serve the individual not just as a spectator but as a participant, able and willing to learn new skills through our programs and services
Impact
Enriching Lives Through Learning
At GBH, we believe that all citizens deserve access to knowledge. A strong educational foundation helps all of us make informed decisions and engage with our communities, which is why we've spent decades creating rich and varied avenues for lifelong learning that everyone can access.
We aim to forge connections through the stories we tell, because when people have access to a fuller story about their world, they can approach the future with clear eyes and open hearts.
