POSTING – WonderTrek Children Museum
POSITION/TITLE: Playful Connections Program Manager
SUPERVISOR: Museum Project Director
PART-TIME: 20 to 30 hours per week
WonderTrek Children’s Museum, an emerging museum in North Central Minnesota for
children, families, and educators, is looking for a dynamic and dedicated employee to fill
the role of Program Manager for its Playful Connections studio explorations programming.
This position will join the project team in developing and implementing Playful
Connections, a new 18-month regional program funded by the Minnesota Legacy, Arts,
Culture, and Heritage Fund. Through Playful Connections, WonderTrek will engage
children and adults in play-based studio explorations to help design an "up north"
signature climber experience reflecting regional art, culture, and heritage. Special attention
will be paid to engaging families from a diversity of backgrounds and lived experiences at
WonderTrek’s studio space at the Franklin Arts Center and at remote venues through the
region. Particular attention will be paid to reaching families experiencing participation
barriers. By bringing together diverse perspectives to share ideas in a studio learning
process adapted for WonderTrek’s audience, Playful Connections empowers children to
lead the way to a more connected region and state through the power of play.
