青年计划的目标与成功
学术成就
Student academic success is the foundation of Cincinnati Museum Center's 青年项目. While there are no grade requirements to be accepted into the programs, 声明每一位参加者都将具有良好的学术地位. Students must meet academic requirements to be accepted on many field experiences and to obtain a paid position in the programs. 通过不断的沟通, 青年项目 staff is kept aware of each student’s academic achievements. While the staff often becomes aware of academic struggles from the student, staff is often made aware from speaking with the student’s parent or guardian. Maintaining positive relationships with the families of our students has allowed us to be a constant force in all areas of their lives.
青年项目的学术成就取决于人数
- 100%: 高中毕业者
- 99%: Participants who have enrolled in a four-year college (the other 1 percent have enrolled in technical school or military service)
- 80%: Participants who have received some form of scholarship, several with full rides
- 三: 参加者被提名为国家优秀学者
The most influential resources for academic success we have in 青年项目 are the museums themselves. 学生们在博物馆的各个领域接受深入的训练, therefore supplementing—and often exceeding—the lessons and expectations in their classes. We have the unique opportunity of introducing students to leading professionals in science, 历史与儿童发展. The exposure to these professionals and the constant support of 青年项目 staff clearly provide a setting for each youth’s academic success.
大学做准备
One of the principal goals of 青年项目 is to encourage participants to seek admittance to an institution of higher education. Many of the programs' participants are first-generation college students. 青年项目 staff work with the youth to support and empower them to attend the college of their choice, 尽管成本, 过去的成绩记录和其他障碍. This dedication to higher education is reinforced through the work of the YouthALIVE! group at Cincinnati Museum Center which offers extra opportunities to develop work skills, 探索职业和大学选择, 提高学习成绩. 活动对所有参与者开放, 但这是为了满足那些得不到充分服务的年轻人的特殊需求, 包括那些有财政收入的人, 情感和家庭相关的问题.
In addition to the standard requirements of 青年项目, YouthALIVE! 参加者每月参加一次额外的工作坊. 这些工作坊包括大学和奖学金的论文写作, 资金管理和预算, 目标设定和文化多样性讨论. 青年还会参加为期三天的大学校园参观活动, a spring break experience that visits at least four colleges in three days, and a week-long college and career expedition to a regional location during the summer. A student may visit anywhere from eight to ten colleges each year they are in the program. This works out to as many as 32 to 40 大学下载贝博 before they graduate high school. These trips are offered at no cost to the student and all students are encouraged to attend.

大学毕业后开始工作
Career development does not end when students graduate from the programs. Each year, several alumni return to Museum Center to serve as Senior Mentors for 青年项目. Senior Mentors assist 青年项目 professional staff during the summer. Their primary role is to interact with youth at the museum and to provide peer support for their presentations and demonstrations. 除了回来协助青年计划, several alumni have returned to Museum Center in other roles—from museum floor specialists and outreach presenters to museum coordinators and 青年项目 coordinators.
