What is PBS Charlotte's 3-D Project Dreamers-Doers-Destiny?
Find out more about PBS Charlotte's 3-D Project
In an effort to assist with the upward mobility crisis, PBS Charlotte created a four-year community engagement campaign beginning in the fall of 2017 .
This three-part project uses media to show people how to not just be dreamers, but doers with an emphasis on pathways to success and career exploration in order to broaden their horizons about what their destiny could be.

We are currently working with groups of talented and smart students at Garinger High School and young adults from the Charlotte area. Get to know them, their dreams and how they are in control of their destiny by visiting our weekly Facebook live posts.
