Create Student Programs in Your Library, Museum, or Historical Society

Schedule a consultation

Meet with your Youth Genealogy Curriculum Coordinator to create programs in your institution. 

Youth Education

American Ancestors provides consultations to libraries, museums, and historical societies to help them create youth education programs. We can assist you in creating programs and policies for school groups, Scouts, home-school students, and activities for walk-in guests.

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 building, archives, and local history.

Inspire the Next Generation of Family Historians  

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 the past.
