We have received a grant from the Ford Foundation to help deepen our engagement with and increase access for Asian American communities in the NYC metro area. To that end we are holding focus group meetings to get input from valued members of various communities to enrich our thinking about this project. At this meeting community members will meet to share perspectives on some of their issues, interests, and values. The session will also explore the resources of the Museum and where they align with community interests—we hope to better understand the value proposition of our collections, research, education, and public programs for local Asian American communities.

The focus group session will take place at AMNH on Saturday, January 17th from 10am-1pm.  

Specifically, we are looking for people who:

• Are female caregivers between the ages of 25-45 of children between the ages of 2-17

• Are 1st generation Asian American (born in US)  or new immigrants (not born in US)
and
• Have not recently visited the Museum 

Each participant receives $100.  One of our education specialists will arrange a day of activities for any children accompanying parents.  

Refreshments will be served.

Thank you!

Best,

Denise
