Binge all seven episodes of Season 3 on Sunday, July 12 !
“Everyone deserves access to opportunity but not everyone knows where to find it,” said Jamie Strayer, creator of Opportunity Knocks and co-founder of The Opportunity Initiative with executive producer Jenn George Hunter. “Opportunity Knocks exists to remove shame, connect people to real help, and show audiences that financial struggles are not personal failures. Families across America are working incredibly hard. What they often need is access to opportunities that help them to unrig the system.”
WXXI is proud to be the presenting station for Opportunity Knocks, which is distributed to PBS stations nationally by American Public Television. The series airs on local PBS stations across the country, and the WORLD Channel, and streams on PBS Passport, PBS.org, YouTube and OpportunityKnocks.net.
