National Youth Summit: Woman Suffrage
The National Youth Summit brings middle and high school students together with scholars, teachers, policy experts, and activists in a national conversation about important events in America’s past that have relevance to the nation’s present and future. Affiliates can apply to host Regional Youth Summits.
Nurture Budding Paleontologists in Your Community
Through a National Science Foundation sub-award, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and Twin Cities Public Television are offering sub-awards to up to three Smithsonian Affiliates to enhance family programming in their communities and support professional development on science content and informal learning techniques.
“We look forward to working with Smithsonian Affiliates. It’s a group of like-minded organizations around the nation and we enjoy working together to strengthen the museum community.”
“We see it as an opportunity to serve our community by bringing the Smithsonian to them. It’s about sharing things that they’d normally not get to see – things that are relevant to them and relate to the region where they live.”
“We don’t have brick and mortar displays but what we do have is an amazing collection of the best minds in the world coming to us – to our tiny valley and 11 rural schools because of the affiliation.”
