Community Connections
We are more than television. KLRU serves as a convener and
catalyst for conversations on issues important to our community
and region. On this site, you can learn about how KLRU programs
and events, outreach activities, and related resources contribute
to our community. You can also get information about the organizations
with which we partner and how you can get involved.
Echoes of Color 
In fall 2006, KLRU-TV, Austin PBS, launched a free three-part film series called Echoes of Color to provide a forum on issues of particular concern to the African American community. Participants watch films together and then examine issues, engage in dialogue with others who share these concerns, and explore opportunities for hands-on problem solving through “neighboring” and volunteer activities.
Each year KLRU conducts six to ten community engagement projects similar to Echoes of Color. As one of the largest non-profit organizations in Central Texas, KLRU forms long-term partnerships to bring diverse people and interests together to build a stronger community. The station’s community engagement efforts range from advance screenings of local and national programs with post-viewing discussion groups to creating a diabetes awareness campaign around a popular PBS program to convening forums on important community issues to coordinating statewide promotional efforts for caregiver support.

Family Choice
Each month, KLRU identifies a Family Choice program
from our schedule that will interest and engage family
members, ages 7 and up. Keep updated on the Family
Choice program-of-the-month and ways your family can
build and extend the program through discussion and
activities by going to this month's Family
Choice program.
In 1967, local villagers in Africa's Equitorial Guinea captured a remarkable baby gorilla. This young male was unlike any gorilla the villagers had seen before; instead of the thick brown fur of most gorillas, this baby had a coat of pure white. Through a series of fortunate circumstances, the rare white gorilla ended up at the Barcelona Zoo, where he became an international star. He was given the Spanish name Copito de Nieve and the English name Snowflake.
NATURE's SNOWFLAKE: THE WHITE GORILLA is a fascinating excursion into this remarkable world and an introduction to history's only known albino gorilla.
