Valerie Harrington is not trying to be the next Oprah, but she is determined to help nonprofit organizations gain a higher profile by stepping in front of the camera as a television host.
Harrington is the executive director of Step Up. It's an organization aimed at mobilizing volunteers and matching them with the groups in need of their talents. She will begin conducting interviews in March with folks from 14 nonprofits in 30-minute taped segments produced by students at Horry-Georgetown Technical College.
The partnership between Step Up and HGTC will give nonprofits opportunities to use the free footage to promote their programs and services via television, on Web sites, during special presentations and in other creative formats, Harrington said.
'As much as I love Oprah, I don't believe I can fill her shoes, but I do hope to give exposure to the nonprofits that have little or no money in their budgets for marketing and things of that nature,' she said."
