The Museum’s initial planning phase for the Pathways Project is drawing to a close. Pathways is an initiative designed to provide youth and young adults, ages 13–23, with hands-on exposure to careers in museums and the humanities.

Supported by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the Museum has spent the past 18 months developing Pathways in partnership with History Co:Lab, schools, universities, and youth-serving nonprofits. Through this collaborative process, a multidisciplinary team of adults and young people co-designed a program that integrates learning, belonging, creativity, and civic engagement.

The initiative began with a guiding question:
How can The Museum of Kansas City help cultivate the next generation of diverse leaders in museums and the humanities?

Pathways answers that question by creating accessible entry points into cultural careers through paid internships, employment opportunities, consulting roles, mentorship, and volunteer experiences. At the same time, the Pathways advances early workforce development and helps foster empathetic, innovative, and courageous leaders who can shape the future of their communities.
