Now in its tenth year, “WETA’s Hometown Heroes” is an Emmy Award-winning multimedia project that heralds individuals who improve their communities and encourages others to volunteer service. This year, “WETA’s Hometown Heroes” honors individuals who are impacting the regions’ environmental issues through many fields, including the arts, literacy, health and education. WETA produces television profiles on selected individuals and their work in the community.

WETA's "Hometown Heroes" is made possible through the generous support of the Park Foundation, Inc., The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, The Bank of America Foundation, and The J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation.
