Young Heroes Outreach Program (YHOP) Structure
The Young Heroes Outreach Program (YHOP) takes place in two phases: the Training Phase and the Action Phase. Throughout both phases, participating faculty advisors receive continued educational support from Museum Outreach Educators.
The Training Phase:
- Participating classroom teachers attend a Professional Development Workshop over the summer where they receive a complete Educator Resource Guide to lead them through the curriculum they will be teaching,
- Students receive a 9-lesson Training Guide aligned with the Common Core Standards, which focus on good character and the First Amendment Rights that give them the freedom to become positive change agents in their school and community.
- All participating students visit the Museum for a 90-minute tour to enhance their learning experience.
- An educator from the Museum co-teaches 4 of the 9 lessons, and provides on-going curriculum support.
The Action Phase:
- Students apply the steps for making change, which they learned in the Training Phase, to plan their own Community Action Project.
- An educator from the Museum will co-lead 3 sessions during this phase, and will be available for on-going curriculum and implementation support.
- The students attend a Year-End Celebration to showcase their Community Action Projects to school faculty, family members, community leaders, and sponsors.
Workplace Inclusion Training:
a 3-Day Intensive Program for companies/organizations
As a museum dedicated to “liberty,” the National Liberty Museum is uniquely committed and qualified to help companies/organizations achieve their Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) goals. Our 3-day Intensive Program —created from our proprietary curriculum— teaches leadership teams how to develop a Workplace Inclusion program that they can implement immediately upon their return to work. Each participant receives a personalized certificate designating their successful completion of this course.
The upcoming program will be held on May 16, 17 & 18. Learn more and REGISTER TODAY.
GiveBack Workshops
GiveBack Workshops at NLM are a unique way of volunteering and the perfect spark to activate your family’s sense of empathy, respect, and responsibility, the character traits that make someone a true hero of liberty. A different GiveBack Workshop is held once each month on a Saturday morning. You and your children will work together to complete a “make-and-donate” activity specifically designed by the partner organization for that month.
Check our events calendar for all the upcoming GiveBack Workshops –and the organizations with whom we are partnering.
Welcome the Stranger Exhibit
Welcome the Stranger, a one-woman exhibit of cast glass, ceramics, and mixed media by artist Micaela Amateau Amato, will be on display in our GlassAccess Gallery from March 9 - June 9, 2019. This collection of works is Amato's interpretation of modern and historic figures who rose like “superheroes” to accept seemingly impossible challenges of liberty. Shown here are cast glass sculptures of Harriet Tubman and Eleanor Roosevelt.Learn more about this exhibit by clicking here.
