COMMUNITY PROGRAM INITIATIVES SERVE PRIMARILY LOW-INCOME FAMILIES AND HIGH NEED SCHOOL DISTRICTS. THE MUSEUM RECEIVED THE NATIONAL MEDAL FOR MUSEUM AND LIBRARY SERVICE AT THE WHITE HOUSE IN NOVEMBER 2012 FOR ITS COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMMING. THESE INITIATIVES INCLUDE: [1] STEM PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WESTBURY SCHOOL DISTRICT: THE WESTBURY STEM PARTNERSHIP IS A SCHOOL-MUSEUM TEACHING MODEL WHICH EXPANDS THE DISTRICT'S SCIENCE EDUCATION PROGRAM BEYOND THE CONFINES OF THE CLASSROOM. THE WESTBURY STEM PARTNERSHIP EMPHASIZES INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING - WHERE STUDENTS DEVELOP EXPERIMENTAL AND ANALYTICAL SKILLS RATHER THAN JUST MEMORIZATION OF INFORMATION. THE PROGRAM INCLUDES A SUBSTANTIAL TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COMPONENT AND SERVES ALL FIRST AND SECOND GRADE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS IN THE DISTRICT MULTIPLE TIMES DURING THE YEAR. (APPROXIMATELY 1,200 STUDENTS). - AT THE REQUEST OF THE TEACHER ADVISORY COUNCIL, THE MUSEUM EXPANDED THIS PROGRAM TO SERVE ALL OF THE THIRD GRADE, AND SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED FEDERAL FUNDING TO CONTINUE THIS EXPANSION AND ADD ALL STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS IN THE DISTRICT FROM GRADES K THROUGH 12.

THE PROGRAM HAS NOW ADDED FAMILIES FROM FRENCH SPEAKING AFRICAN COUNTRIES. THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE AND INCLUDES DOOR-TO-DOOR TRANSPORTATION FOR PARTICIPANTS. -AS A RESULT OF POSITIVE CHANGES NECESSITATED BY THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC, THE MUSEUM OPENED UP THIS PROGRAM TO FAMILIES FROM OTHER COMMUNITIES AND OTHER CULTURAL/ETHNIC GROUPS AS LONG AS THEY COULD GET TO THE MUSEUM ON THEIR OWN. THIS WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL ADAPTATION AND MADE THE PROGRAM MORE INCLUSIVE. PARTICIPANTS IN THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF THIS PROGRAM ARE NOW ATTENDING COLLEGE. ONE STUDENT, NOW ATTENDING HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY, CAME BACK TO THE MUSEUM TO WORK PART-TIME AND WROTE A TESTIMONIAL ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT THIS PROGRAM HAD BEEN TO HER AND HER FAMILY. [3] EARLY LEARNING WORKSHOPS: THESE WORKSHOPS ARE HELD DAILY IN THE MUSEUM'S EARLY CHILDHOOD WORKSHOP SPACE AND INCLUDE: STORY AND ART, MUSIC AND MOVEMENT, AND KIDS IN THE KITCHEN.

IN ADDITION TO THE PERMANENT EXHIBIT GALLERIES, LICM HAS A TRAVELING EXHIBIT GALLERY, HOSTING THREE TRAVELING EXHIBITS EACH YEAR, AND TWO ART GALLERY SPACES - ONE EXHIBITING WORKS BY A DIVERSE GROUP OF ADULT ARTISTS AND A COMMUNITY GALLERY EXHIBITING WORKS BY CHILDREN.

LICM HAS BEEN PART OF A NATIONAL TRAVELING EXHIBIT CONSORTIUM, YOUTH MUSEUMS EXHIBIT COLLABORATIVE (YMEC). AS PART OF ITS MEMBERSHIP IN THE CONSORTIUM, THE MUSEUM CREATED AN EXHIBIT - BROKEN? FIX IT! - WHICH OPENED AT LICM AND THEN TRAVELED TO FIVE OTHER CHILDREN'S MUSEUMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND IS NOW INSTALLED AS A PERMANENT EXHIBIT AT THE MUSEUM. FORM 990 LINE 4C THEATER PROGRAMS: PERFORMANCES ARE INTERACTIVE AND DIVERSE IN THEIR CONTENT AND THE INTIMATE NATURE OF THE SPACE DECREASES AESTHETIC DISTANCE BETWEEN AUDIENCE AND PERFORMER, MAKING IT AN EXCELLENT VENUE FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN TO ENJOY CULTURAL, THEATRICAL AND MUSICAL PERFORMANCES AS WELL AS DANCE AND PUPPETRY. SPECIAL PROGRAM SERIES INCLUDE COLLABORATIONS WITH PERFORMERS OUTSIDE THE U.S. AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF IN-HOUSE PRODUCTIONS TO AUGMENT THE MUSEUM'S EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMS AND TO OFFER PERFORMANCES TO SCHOOLS, MANY OF WHICH CHOOSE THE DOUBLE YOUR LEARNING OPTION AND ADD ON A PERFORMANCE TO THE TRADITIONAL FIELD TRIP OPTION FOR ONE BUS PRICE. THE EDUCATIONAL, COMMUNITY AND FAMILY-BASED FOCUS OF THE MUSEUM DEFINES THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE THEATER: WHEN PARENTS INTRODUCE EVEN THEIR YOUNGEST CHILDREN TO LIVE THEATER AT THE MUSEUM, THE MUSEUM SUPPORTS THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE AUDIENCES FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS. THE MUSEUM IS COMMITTED TO KEEPING THEATER ADMISSION COSTS LOW FOR AFFORDABILITY AND ACCESS FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES FROM A VARIETY OF ECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS. WITH GRANTS FROM THE INSTITUTE OF MUSEUM AND LIBRARY SERVICES (IMLS), LICM WAS ABLE TO PROTOTYPE NEW THEATER PRESENTATIONS AND HAS DEVELOPED A RICH SCHEDULE OF IN-HOUSE THEATER PRODUCTIONS IN ADDITION TO BRINGING IN OUTSIDE PERFORMERS. THIS HAS ENABLED THE MUSEUM TO SERVE SCHOOL GROUPS IN A DIFFERENT WAY. FOR MOST OF THE PARTICIPATING SCHOOLS, THIS IS THEIR ONLY THEATER-ORIENTED FIELD TRIP EXPERIENCE.
