Community Impact
Children’s Museums show our youngest citizens that they are valued and important. We create a space for connection, exploration, cultural awareness, and growth. We foster positive social experiences, which overflow into everyday life and help children build strong, healthy relationships with others and with their community.

The Family Resource Center is a central hub where children, youth, and families across the region can access comprehensive services in a supportive, strengths-based, engaging, and client-centered environment.
