Schedule a consultation
Meet with your Youth Genealogy Curriculum Coordinator to create programs in your institution.
American Ancestors provides consultations to libraries, museums, and historical societies to help them create youth education programs. We can assist you in creating dynamic programs that ignite curiosity, foster critical thinking, and connect young people to the past.
Create programs and policies for school groups, Scouts troops, home-school students, and walk-in families that are tailored to your building, archives, and local history.
Programs
Transform your collections and archives into memorable hands-on programs, including field trips, activities for walk-in families, and traveling in-school programs.
Field trips to libraries and historical societies offer a unique opportunity to introduce students to the concepts, benefits, and joys of family history. Students can come face to face with librarians, archivists, and genealogists to spark curiosity, develop research skills, and make personal connections to history.
Strategies
Your staff will be equipped with strategies to make genealogy accessible to all students, along with pedagogical and logistical framework for developing and implementing student programs that are tailored to your goals and unique resources.
Sample Materials
To help you create your own unique and engaging programs, we will provide you with outlines for field trips, PowerPoint presentations, facilitator’s guides, case studies of historical figures, and sample materials for activities with primary sources.
Policies
We can help you create tailored policies for group reservations, chaperones, volunteers, lunches, coats, and transportation, ensuring an accessible and enjoyable experience for every student.
