Los Angeles, Calif. – May 1, 2025 – PBS SoCal, Southern California's flagship PBS station, announced today that the 27th annual LOCAL HEROES program will be accepting submissions from the public for the 2025 season as well as accepting applications for new members of the Community Advisory Board (CAB), an active group of volunteer leaders from around the region that plays an integral part in the planning and implementation of many outreach programs including the LOCAL HEROES initiative. Every year, the LOCAL HEROES program recognizes the accomplishments of those who are dedicated to making a difference in the community: activists, community leaders and visionaries doing critical work that often goes unrecognized in the Southern California region. For the 2025 selection process, the CAB will select two honorees. The deadline to submit names to be considered for the LOCAL HEROES program is May 31, 2025 on the PBS SoCal website at PBSSoCal.org/LocalHeroes
