Client Feedback
The Down Syndrome Association of West Michigan was featured on Weekly View during our 2009 Buddy Walk (October 2009) the impact was immediate. We received a number of calls from community members wanting to volunteer and learn more about Down syndrome. Thank you Community Media Center for connecting the community to local non-profits!

In the Media
With two television stations and an FM radio station, the Community Media Center "is media." However, we do a lot more than just transmit media through television and radio. We hold training seminars. We host satellite downlinks. We hold media literacy seminars and candidate forums. We receive grants from the government and we create new learning opportunities for the community at large. You'll often find us in the news. Here's what the other media has to say about us.
