Youth board named: Last fall the Children’s Museum received a grant from the Greater Everett Community Foundation that allowed for the establishment of a youth board. After an interview process, five Snohomish County high school students are now serving on the Children’s Museum Youth Board:
Matt Darnell, sophomore, Archbishop Murphy High School; Katie Dutton, senior, Everett High School; Brittany Grgich, junior, Cascade High School; Katie McKinnie, sophomore, Arlington High School; and Scott Varner, senior, Kamiak High School.
Under the guidance of museum staff, the high school students identify organizational needs, select areas in which they can make an impact and develop goals and a strategic plan to accomplish during their term. The students will serve through June 30.
Youth Board members have helped organize several special events, including a celebration of the museum’s recent and successful capital campaign. This spring they will assist with the organization of a recognition event for the museum’s many volunteers.
