At Bay Area Discovery Museum, we believe that we can play a role in creating opportunities for belonging by designing experiences that help connect and empower families in our community.
This is why we are launching our newest program, Empowered Kids, a free monthly virtual program! Using meaningful storytelling and activities, this program will equip your family with tools to explore positive social change in your lives and community.
This program is designed for children 4+ and their caregivers.
Please join us this Saturday for our first Empowered Kids program!
