New Documentary Celebrates Feinstein Leaders

Alan Shawn Feinstein, founder of the Feinstein Foundation and nationally-known Rhode Island philanthropist and humanitarian, is the subject of a new documentary, Feinstein Leaders of Tomorrow.

His tireless crusade to inspire leadership and promote community service among youth has made an indelible impact on American education and the field of public service. From his Feinstein Junior Scholars good deeds program in elementary and middle schools, to establishing college and university areas of study to end world hunger, as well as degree programs in community service, Mr. Feinstein’s generosity and energy are legendary.

The 30-minute Feinstein Leaders of Tomorrow debuts Sunday, February 2 at 10 a.m. on Rhode Island PBS, with the following encore broadcasts on Learn:

Our Great Kids - Alan Shawn Feinstein

The Feinstein Junior Scholar Program began more than 10 years ago to promote community service projects to school children throughout Rhode Island. Alan Shawn Feinstein offers program membership to children who pledge to do good deeds for others. Today, there are more than 100,000 Feinstein Junior Scholars in kindergarten to college, and millions of good deeds performed.


In Mr. Feinstein's own words: "I speak to over 35,000 of these youngsters each year in their schools – thanking them for what they are doing to help others and telling them that every time they do something good for someone else, they make the world a better place."

Each week, Alan Shawn Feinstein comes to WSBE Rhode Island PBS studios to share some of those good deeds in Our Great Kids, short programs that recognize Feinstein Junior Scholars by name. The segments air on weekends on both of our channels, Rhode Island PBS and Learn. Mr. Feinstein tapes short (3-minute) and long (5-minute) segments, each with different content. In some Our Great Kids episodes, Mr. Feinstein reads letters he has received from children. In other segments of Our Great Kids, he shares advice and encouragement.


Episodes are new each week, and are re-broadcast more than once per weekend. Here's when to catch the latest segments about Our Great Kids on TV:
