WNET.ORG also produces the annual Celebration of Teaching and Learning, and provides innovative educational outreach at both the local and national levels.

Thirteen/WNET began broadcasting in September, 1962. Many of our volunteers began their "careers" at Thirteen when our auction was a major source of fundraising. Although we no longer do the auction, we still enjoy the support of volunteers who have been with us for more than 30 years. Through the years, our volunteers have been an integral part of the station, providing administrative, customer service and educational outreach support.
