Diversity
Pillars of Belonging
We believe in actively creating a place of diversity, inclusion, and belonging among our staff, volunteers, the audiences we serve, the programs we develop, and the community partners we pursue. Children are the center of our work and we encourage their fullest potential as artists, scientists, inventors, explorers, and empathetic global citizens. We strive to create a hub where all children, and the adults that love them, feel a sense of belonging.
Our organization and community will thrive when we embrace diversity in everything we do.
