At the Academy, inclusion is a guiding principle, not a buzzword. By hiring from underestimated groups, we've seen careers blossom and a stronger staff community take root. See how we did it—and how you can, too.
“To connect with our community, we must reflect our community.”
– Ike Kwon, Chief Operating Officer, California Academy of Sciences
We're proud to make our Museums4Inclusion Toolkit freely available to anyone because we believe diversity, equity, and inclusion benefit everyone.
To access the toolkit, just say hello! Please include your name, email address, organization, and city in your email.
What Is Museums4Inclusion?
M4I is a workforce development program for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities that provides job training and real-world work experience. We believe museums can lead the charge for building equitable, inclusive workplaces that reflect the diverse communities we serve.
