Our goal is to <br />engage with Orange County residents of all ages, genders, races, ethnicities, <br />and socio-economic backgrounds. The presentation and content of exhibits <br />are designed to appeal to a wide audience. Our goal is for all visitors to be <br />able to relate to and engage with the stories and themes presented in the <br />exhibits. <br />A variety of educational opportunities will be offered, both for adult learners <br />and for pre-K-12 students. The Museum has and will continue to work with <br />Orange County Public Schools, charter schools, homeschool groups, and <br />others to design and facilitate field trips that align with the school <br />curriculum. Our dedicated Kids’ Space allows children to interact with <br />history in an accessible and fun way through play. Monthly Museum <br />programs will provide further learning opportunities for the public, through <br />which the museum will strive to promote diversity and lifelong learning. <br />Target Population <br />The program target population demographics table is included as an <br />attachement on the application cover page.
