EdVenture

EdVenture will implement the “Yes, Every Child” program to improve museum accessibility and engagement for Hispanic/Latino families in the Columbia metropolitan area. The museum will build internal capacity including facility, staff/ staff skills, and community networks to better connect with and respond to the rapidly growing Hispanic/Latino community. The program will equip the museum to develop new and additional learning experiences for non-English speaking audiences. The museum will form an advisory group of trusted leaders within the Hispanic/Latino community to serve as cultural brokers. The advisory group will help guide efforts to develop focused outreach to and build relationships with Hispanic/Latino families with young children. These efforts will focus on developing programs to engage and sustain participation, enhance civic engagement, provide cultural and educational opportunities, and enable families to be full participants in their local community.
