WIPB in the Community

Our connection to east central Indiana goes beyond our television broadcast to include projects and activities that reflect and serve our distinctive region. Local activities, community projects and education workshops are some of the ways WIPB brings our viewers into contact with each other and our community's rich resources.
Featured Project
Community Outreach >> The National Parks
WIPB is pleased to partner with Ball State University Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management to plan a trip for the children at the Boys and Girls Club of Muncie. We will visit the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and State Park. The children will document their trip by taking pictures and writing about their experiences.
