The Children's Museum is fiercely devoted to our Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion (DEAI) efforts. We cannot transform the lives of children and families unless we embrace all families.

  • Update the experience development calendar with annual observances, holidays, and future
    celebrations.
  • Create a communication tool for non-Spanish speaking staff to use with Spanish-speaking staff
    (primarily for Housekeeping and Facilities staff).
  • Collect information about various roles across the museum to assist the Training Team in
    creating job role personas (i.e. interview staff about job responsibilities and competency
    requirements, conduct research, etc.).

Qualifications:

  • Sophomore, junior, or senior at the college level.
  • Self-motivated and have a demonstrated ability to work independently. 
  • Good interpersonal skills and a willingness to meet with and gather information from staff outside of the Human Resources department. 
  • Proficient use of Microsoft 365, along with a high level of comfort in using technology and social media to conduct research.  Experience using a learning management system is preferred, but not required

Areas of Study/Interest:
