Summary
"This type of long-term corporate partnership is remarkable both in size and impact," noted LICM President Erika Floreska. "Growing programs with National Grid as a partner has helped the Childrens Museum be responsive to student and teacher needs, providing room for risk taking, learning, and long-term engagement. "I am deeply honored to accept the Great Friend to Kids Award from the Long Island Childrens Museum, on behalf of National Grid. "We are especially proud of the Green Teens program and how it has flourished, empowering young people and making a meaningful impact in our community through science-based problem solving." This year-round program trains high school students in the Museums educational methodology to develop hands-on activities for LICM visitors in topics like energy, conservation and the environment.
