About Us
Mission: 

Look, Listen and Learn TV's mission is to advance early learning in children of color through media and television. Our programming is rooted in brain development research, racial equity and radical joy.

Programs: 

Look, Listen + Learn TV (LL+L TV) is a nonprofit media organization that creates programming to inspire and advance early learning. We feature the brilliance of Black and Indigenous children, families, and educators of color for everyone to experience. Our work supports social-emotional skills and nurtures healthy interactions that encourage school readiness for 3 to 8-year-olds. The content is anchored in research about what best promotes school readiness, success, and racial and radical joy. We produce an award-winning television series called Look, Listen + Learn (LL+L). In the loving tradition of Mr. Rogers, we invite young children to explore books, music, cooking, and more with co-hosts Possum and Auntie Lena. We also offer early learning resources for parents and caregivers to support their early learners beyond the show.

Why Work For Us?: 

Our values of racial equity and social justice, community collaboration, and high-quality production guide our mission and daily work. As well, our collaborative efforts, both internally and externally, are essential to our success. Each position within our team has a specific function, yet all roles work in tandem to ensure LL+L TV operates effectively and achieves its mission. This Executive Director position is pivotal to LL+L TV’s efforts to build and prepare for a new era, following the visionary leadership of our founder. This unique position offers the opportunity to work closely with our Founder, who also serves as the Executive Producer, respectively leading the operational and creative aspects of LL+L TV. Though we operate in a hybrid environment without a central office, we collaborate virtually on a daily basis and come together in person for key events and meetings. Currently, the team is composed of independent contractors, but our goal is to transform this core team into full-time, exempt staff members to strengthen our foundation and enhance our operational capabilities.
