Over the past year, I've noticed a strange trend in the calls I receive about upcoming participatory museum projects: the majority of them are being planned for teen audiences. Why are teens over-represented in participatory projects? Teens are a known (and somewhat controllable) entity.

A passion of mine for the last 13 years has been working with high school teens through my church youth group. During my last year as a student at ASU, I completed a youth ministry internship at the All Saints Catholic Newman Center on the Tempe campus. Well, mainly because I wanted more for the teens of St. Vincent de Paul.

Millions of low-income students rely on free or low-cost school meals. "Food insecurity" means that, at some point in the year, a household lacked access to enough nutritious food to support an "active, healthy life for all household members." But when summer vacation starts, the school meals end. That's 3.9

This summer, I worked with the Chabot Space & Science Center on a design institute in which eleven teens from their Galaxy Explorers program designed media pieces for an upcoming Smithsonian exhibition on black holes. There was no initial design, no graphics, and no idea of where the teen' work would fit into an overall structure.

But without a clear idea of where you’re going, all that activity may not actually move you forward toward your goals. Contrary to popular belief, a strategic plan is not a one-time activity. What about your students’ families? Should supporting the families of the students you serve be part of your mission?

This seems a little ungenerous to museums; while institutions may bestow more love upon wealthy, elderly donors than the general visiting public, museums have actively courted mass audiences for years. We're always happy for more bodies in the door, but if supporting teens means alienating seniors, there's a problem. Which community?
