Queens Museum of Art

The Queens Museum of Art will launch a new initative entitled PAVE, the Parent Ambassadors in Visitor Experience Program, that will build and extend the museum's existing strengths and community ties to better serve families and children. Working with a group of diverse, local parent leaders, museum staff will show how the museum can be used to advance children's academic success through evidence-based practices in early learning and parent education. Participating parents advise the newly launched Visitor Experience program to help the museum provide more educational and engaging experience for families with young children. The museum's program will promote the academic success of children and provide a civic space that catalyzes parent power and activism, especially for low-income or immigrant communities.
