In 2004, the USS Constitution Museum started the Engage Families project, dedicated to understanding and encouraging family engagement in cultural institutions. Engagefamilies.org is the compilation of our research on the topic, as well as our experiences putting that theory into practice.

The practical, actionable strategies you will find there can help with every phase of family engagement. From gaining an initial understanding of your audience to final evaluations, we share all we’ve learned with you. Explore the site and use these tactics as the toolkit for engaging all ages at your institution!
