Our goal is to engage with Orange County residents of <br />all ages, genders, races, ethnicities, and socio-economic backgrounds. Museum <br />staff work with various members of the community and community groups to <br />determine what content should be presented and how to promote shared <br />authority in the museum. The presentation and content of exhibits are designed <br />to appeal to a wide audience, with various interactive elements geared toward <br />visitors of all ages. Our goal is for all visitors to be able to relate to and engage <br />with the stories and themes presented in the exhibits. <br />To promote lifelong learning, a variety of educational opportunities will be offered, <br />both for adult learners and for pre-K-12 students. The Museum has and will <br />continue to work with Orange County Public Schools, charter schools, <br />homeschool groups, and others to design and facilitate field trips that align with <br />the school curriculum. Our dedicated Kids’ Space allows children to interact with <br />history in an accessible and fun way through play. Monthly Museum programs <br />will provide further learning opportunities for the public, through which the <br />museum will strive to promote diversity and lifelong learning. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 711B0470-AB31-4239-BFAB-654356E2FD21
