Museum of Science, Boston

The Museum of Science will implement a professional development initiative that builds staff capacity to set and measure goals that advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Project activities will include working with consultants to integrate DEI into the museum’s existing organizational accountability system, designing modules and resources to train the entire staff about DEI concepts, using evaluation findings to refine the training, and integrating the updated training modules into ongoing museum operations. The project activities will result in museum staff who increase their awareness, understanding, interest, and confidence in crafting DEI goals, which ultimately benefits the visitors who interact with all the Museum’s educational opportunities.
