Previous videos in the series explained the importance of firefighters, police officers, teachers, doctors, paramedics, meteorologists and 9-1-1 operators.<\/p>\n<p>The videos, aimed at children 3 to 8, air on W性视界传媒 TV between programming, and are available on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCL9rKMd4hLt_HbLRWkI0aXA\">YouTube<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetthehelpers.org\/\">Meet the Helpers website<\/a>. They are also available free to public media stations across the country for broadcasting in their communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Meet the Helpers initiative continues to tell the stories of the heroes in our communities across the country,\u201d says. Phil Hoffman, W性视界传媒 executive director. \u201cThese videos and activities show children and families the importance of helpers and how to be a helper to others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to community helpers, W性视界传媒 also produced videos in the series to help families understand the coronavirus and wearing masks.<\/p>\n<p>Meet the Helpers is developed by W性视界传媒 and national experts in early childhood development from the 性视界传媒 College of Community Innovation and Education, and crisis communications from the 性视界传媒 Nicholson School of Communication and Media.<\/p>\n<p>The project is part of W性视界传媒\u2019s outreach following the Pulse nightclub shooting in 2016. Meet The Helpers is made possible in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Duke Energy, and the Paul B. and Constance D. Hunter Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the latest videos from Meet the Helpers visit <a
