Museum Youth Councils
Good afternoon!
I'm excited to share that I work at The Grand Rapids Children's Museum, where we're currently embarking on an expansion project to build a new facility from the ground up. As part of this journey, I'm eager to establish a museum council that welcomes students to contribute to various stages of creating our new space!
If your museum already has a youth council, I'd love to connect and gather insights to help shape our initiative.
Looking forward ...
