Nonprofits Insurance Alliance - 2018 NIA Annual Report

Children’s Museum of the East End Bridgehampton, NY www.cmee.org The museum began when a group of seven mothers launched a pilot project exhibit to create more educational opportunities for children on the East End of Long Island. The pilot project exhibit was a success through the volunteer efforts of educators, artists, carpenters, local businesses, and families. Now, Children’s Museum of the East End offers educational programs such as classes for parents; summer classes for children; family workshops and events; field trips; community engagement activities promoting physical fitness and family literacy; and a teen service program. Current exhibit galleries to encourage children to exercise and learn include a seafaring ship; sand puppets; a free drop-in art studio; interactive and traveling exhibits in the Legacy Family Tree Gallery; a community library; and a 9-hole miniature golf course where children learn physics and math. Children’s Museum of the East End collaborates with arts and social services organizations to provide educational support and activities for local families. 20 A Cooperative of Nonprofits, for Nonprofits.
