Queens Museum | Kids Out and About Queens

Queens Museum

The Queens Museum is located next to one of the most diverse, vibrant, dense, fast growing, and predominantly immigrant neighborhoods in New York City: Corona, Queens. To address our uniquely diverse audiences and the challenges they face, the Museum has long understood the urgent need to work with our neighbors to engage critically in issues of neighborhood development in our schools, parks, streets, and in precious recreational spaces. Over the past decade, the Museum has been working to ensure that community residents are involved in the envisioning, production, programming, and maintenance of public spaces and amenities. Through a series of creative engagement initiatives and with the support of our full-time community organizers, we actively leverages our resources to help build the leadership capacity of Corona residents to participate actively in civic institutions.
