The Exploratorium, a science museum in San Francisco, received a $554,624 federal Project Grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the Museums for America (MFA) program (CFDA 45.301). The grant will fund the creation of a cohort-based leadership development training program for middle and senior-level managers at the museum. The program aims to address inequitable access to leadership development opportunities and will identify and hire consultants to design the 6-month curriculum. As a result, 22 participants will shape their leadership identity, gain inclusive leadership skills, and build community among peers and museum leadership. This project will develop a culture of learning and belonging at the Exploratorium while centering the identities, values, and abilities of leaders from diverse backgrounds. The grant period runs from September 1, 2024 to February 28, 2027.
