The Children’s Museum cooperates with Providence community centers to provide out of school learning opportunities for inner-city children. Conducted by the Museum’s AmeriCorps members, Learning Clubs are for elementary school-aged children involved in community center after-school and summer programs. In groups of 12 to 15, they visit the Museum twice a week for several weeks where they explore the exhibits, participate in exciting activities and discover that learning is fun and they are learners. Each year, approximately 300 children participate in Learning Clubs at the Museum.
