TEENMUSE
Description: TEENMUSE grew out of several conversations on MUSEUM-ED about
high school students working in museums. As museum studies and the "museum professional"
continue to evolve as specific career paths, and as the teenagers of today grow
up into the museum audiences and employees of tomorrow, it is increasingly important
that young people be involved in various capacities in museum volunteer, membership,
educational outreach, and internship programs. How are the needs of this group--educationally,
socially, vocationally--best served? How can they serve the needs of the museum?
While anyone concerned with museums is welcome, all participants on this list
are required to contribute to the dialogue. Possible future plans for this conversation
include a session at AAM or other relevant conferences. The list is currently
dormant.
