CHILDREN'S MUSEUM

Need experience working with young children? Come to the Mid-Hudson Children's Museum and help empower children and their families. We are currently looking for College Students to Volunteerwith our NEWEST exhibit. Schedule is flexible. Contact our Coordinator if you have questions.

Volunteers would be needed to help empower children and family while exploring our new space exhibit! "Tell me a Story" will be our newest exhibit here at the museum. This dynamic new learning gallery will feature a bunch of immersive exhibit areas that use storytelling and physical play to help foster compassion and early language/literacy skill development in young children. This new space will also have a lot of features to promote gross motor skill development- including climbing structures, slides and tunnels. There will be a rocket launch pad, pirate ship and even a mini stage.

We also have other programs that we are looking to have some help with! Please contact MHCM if you are interested.

To empower young children and their families.

Description

MHCM is the ONLY children’s museum in the Hudson River Valley between the larger New York City and Albany markets. The museum is located in the heart of the historic waterfront in Poughkeepsie, just steps away from the Poughkeepsie Metro-North train station, the Walkway Over the Hudson’s Elevator, fabulous restaurants, and a new city park.

MHCM has three areas of programmatic focus that direct its work in exhibits and educational programs: school readiness, health and wellness, and community-building. It’s galleries feature a variety of open-ended exhibits that encourage young children to practice and develop age-appropriate cognitive, physical and emotional skills. In 2016 MHCM opened two new learning spaces: The Science Center @ MHCM to advance early STEM education, and The Children’s Garden @ MHCM to teach families about growing their own food. The museum is dedicated to engaging and serving a diverse audience of families from all socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds and of all abilities and needs through special admission and membership programs.
