The Los
Angeles office of the Parents Television Council is seeking
volunteers to aid in its mission of protecting children against sex,
violence and profanity in entertainment. Scientific studies have
shown that children can be negatively affected by violent or sexual
program content. The PTC is an organization of concerned citizens
who strive to encourage responsible behavior by the entertainment
industry, with a special emphasis on television programming.
Volunteers will aid the PTC by contacting corporations that sponsor
offensive programming, writing letters, and performing light
clerical duties. This is a wonderful opportunity for students
seeking to fulfill required school volunteer hours, homemakers or
retirees with free time, or anyone concerned about the state of
entertainment today.
The
PTC’s headquarters are located in downtown Los Angeles. If you are
not located in Southern California but would like to take part in
the PTC’s mission, please click on the Local Chapters tab to find a
chapter near you, or become a member by clicking on the
Join Us tab.
