This includes hosting multiple story times in coordination with <br />community groups throughout the year, with many being in Spanish, Dari, Karen, and <br />Mandarin to better serve our entire community. Kidzu also highlights local authors, word <br />makers, and storytellers by inviting them in for book readings and literacy activities, with a <br />focus on communities of color. Partnering with Transplanting Traditions and World Relief, <br />Kidzu also offers scholarship opportunities, free involvement in summer camps and field <br />trips for refugee children. Most recently, Kidzu has partnered with the Boys and Girls Club of <br />Durham and Orange County to host free robotics programming for the children they serve, <br />the majority of which come from underrepresented and underserved communities. As a <br />participant in the federal Museums for All access program (through the Institute of Museums <br />and Library Services), Kidzu provides monthly free admission and daily reduced access to <br />those receiving food assistance (SNAP) as a way to reach underserved neighborhoods and <br />expand access by addressing financial and logistical barriers to visitation. Our website <br />provides a compilation of online resources to help families talk about racial equity and <br />inclusion at home. Since opening in 2006, Kidzu has also offered free admission <br />opportunities to the community at large, such as through free organizational memberships <br />offered to other groups serving the community,with a focus on children and families in need. <br />PROGRAM INFORMATION <br />*Please submit for each program if applying for funding for more than one program. <br />9.Program Name: Kidzu for All <br />Program Primary Contact and Title:Melanie Hatz Levinson,Kidzu Chief Creative <br />Officer <br />Telephone Number:919-933-1455 E-Mail: levinson@kidzuchildrensmuseum.org <br />Program informationPage 13 of 31 <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 9F73F5ED-FE40-4DB1-BBAD-AF773010D285
