International Coalition of Sites of Conscience

The International Coalition of Sites of Conscience (the Coalition) will convene leaders from museums and partner community organizations across the country to create public programs engaging youth in community dialogs on race, education equity, and incarceration in the context of civil rights history. As trusted spaces frequented by youth from a variety of backgrounds, museums are ideal locations for exploring challenging topics and giving young people the opportunity to have their voices heard. The Coalition will work with participating museums and community organizations to build the capacity of young people to lead their own civic engagement programs at museums in their communities and create model programs that can be replicated in other communities.
