SEE Inclusion Initiatives
In 2022, nearly 7,000 students and family members were given access to SEE exhibits and programs thanks to support for the programs listed below. We hope to continue to remove the barrier of cost to access our programs and invite you to join us in these efforts.
These initiatives are sponsored by:
School Enrichment
This program provides field trips for Title 1 schools across the State of New Hampshire. Since 2014, generous donations from sponsors have allowed SEE to provided free school field trips to every 4th grade student throughout Manchester’s 14 elementary schools. We have recently begun expanding the program to additional Title 1 school districts across the State. If you are a teacher or administrator from a Title 1 school and would like to be considered for this program please contact us at info@see-sciencecenter.org for details.
