National Civil Rights Museum Youth Education Fund

The National Civil Rights Museum's Youth Education Fund is a remarkable initiative that promises to make history come alive for countless young minds. Last year, we were pleased to announce a $200k per year for five years commitment from the Memphis Shelby County School System to send all local students on a field trip to the Museum in grades 5, 8, and 11. The Youth Education Fund ensures that any other school group can come to the Museum, from anywhere in the country, regardless of ability to pay. I hope you'll be a part of the Youth Education Fund and Move History Forward, one child at a time.
