The Virgin Islands Children’s Museum is growing into our new home. After losing the majority of our exhibits and our original home in hurricanes Irma and Maria, and two moves last year, we have made an incredible recovery. Thanks to the grassroots support of our community, we have a beautiful and dynamic new facility, and have been able to expand our program offerings and accessibility.
In addition to our inspiring exhibits, we are running a literacy initiative providing free books every month to registered children in the territory from ages birth to five. To increase accessibility to the museum, we are providing Free Field Trips to all elementary schools, including the cost of transportation, and our Museums for All program allows SNAP food assistance card holders to visit the museum for a reduced admission. We have begun an on-site recycling program, where we are able to chip plastic, and recycle in a variety of ways with different machines. We also provide a host of programs weekly to support early childhood education and development.
Your assistance makes it possible for the museum to keep it's doors open, provide these incredible programs, and so much more! We cannot thank you enough for your support.
