The Walters Art Museum states as part of its mission that it should reach into the community - and therefore for the past two years it has been aggressively teaming up with partner organizations in order to learn about and reach more of the community. The organization Refugee Youth Project came to the museum and proposed organized field trip visits, and the museum enthusiastically responded to the opportunity. This followed shortly after the museum had undertaken efforts to reach at-risk pre-k groups around the city and had started to identify the large impact it could have on these audiences.
Carnegie Museum of Natural History's vision is to enable interaction with the public by all possible means. That includes the indispensable extension of our programs and personnel beyond walls and into the institutions and systems of the community, on behalf not only of our missions, but also of the needs identified by the communities. CMNH has identified part of the museum’s core constituencies as including special needs individuals. CMNH also aims to tie programming to community needs. The specific audiences that I work with are identified by me (kids in need). Education in particular, is charged with diversifying and expanding its audiences.
