PROJECTS

Opportunity Knocks on PBS is the

outreach arm of The Opportunity Initiative

This Telly, Anthem and American Reality Television Awards-winning show is designed to reduce the shame of financial challenges and increase opportunities for the 40% of Americans living on survival budgets.

 

Each season, Opportunity Knocks shows six new families a different way forward by pairing them with renowned financial experts Jean Chatzky, Patrice Washington and Louis Barajas to take control of their finances by providing them – and viewers – with actionable advice, tools and community resources.
