Archivart carries any sizes of corrugated board, http://www.archivart.com/productorder.aspx?PMID=5  once it gets that large, it also gets heavy, but it also is more likely to bend along the corrugation unless you get the double wall type. 

Shipping tends to be expensive because it cannot be bent to a smaller size and becomes a big oversize heavy flat thing on a pallet. I recommend ordering as much as you may possibly need all in one order to reduce the per sheet cost. 

I like coroplast as well for strength, but the edges are sharper and more likely to cut the paper if it slides. However, it can be ordered from other suppliers, as can foam core, which can give support to an acid free folder,  possibly even locally which also could be considerably cheaper, especially for smaller quantities. http://www.hollingermetaledge.com/modules/store/index.html?dept=20&cat=760&cart=126987601444104607


You can also get folder stock in large sizes, but it is floppy when that large without some sort of support. http://www.archivart.com/productorder.aspx?PMID=13
http://www.hollingermetaledge.com/modules/store/index.html?dept=20&cat=760&cart=126987601444104607

Also consider that smaller sizes can be joined together, making less attractive, but cheaper solutions.

Hi,

 

We have several rolls of old film and many boxes of negitives and slides we would like to place in cold storage.  As most museums, we are on a tight budget and are looking for good storage at a good price.

 

We had thought of purchasing a small refrigerator (15.6 cu.) for these items.  Any other suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.

How do you resolve this issue?

There are both black & white and color slides. I am very interested in digitizing this valuable resources, but the Glass Lantern Slides severely need to be rehoused as well. Firstly, do you see any significant problems with rehousing the Glass Magic Lantern Slides whilst in the midst of digitizing them? I would like them to be handled as little as possible, and I thought this would be a way to overcome this problem. Secondly, how could I properly clean the Glass Lantern Slides? There is a lot of dust that has accumulated on them over the years and they do need to be cleaned before scanned. I've read several tips: one stating I should utilize distilled water and a quick-tip or a v. damp cloth. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We have a large number of volunteers who support our historical society with a variety of programs. We have been getting requests for memorials to be erected to honor the work of volunteers who have passed away. While we wish to acknowledge the wonderful support of these volunteers we do not want to become a museum of memorials. We have requests for benches, plaques, trees, large engraved stones, etc. We have 150 acres and this would eventually become a problem! What are other organizations doing in this instance? We like the idea of using memorial funds to purchase something needed for the museum and acknowledging the volunteer that way. Has this worked for anyone? Thanks for any input!

I am NO expert in lichen, but I have a lichen-covered rock at home that I picked up in the Swiss Alps in either 1974 or 1976.  I run water on it whenever I think of it (every 5 to 10 years).  The lichen is still green.

Hello colleagues,

 

A fellow insulator collecting acquaintance of mine recently added a very rare and early telegraph insulator to his collection on the original pin and bracket. However, the bracket is covered in lichens which he would like to preserve. Does anyone know how to preserve something like this?

Best wishes! MATERNITY LEAVE The goals of this policy are clearly the good health of the mother and child and the effective operation of the museum. MVM assumes, moreover, that these two goals are not only compatible but also mutually beneficial. 1. The employee should inform the Executive Director of the need for a maternity leave and the expected date of birth at least three months in advance. The Executive Director will assume, unless informed otherwise, that the employee plans to return full-time to her position following her maternity leave. 2. The period of maternity leave will be eight weeks. During her pregnancy, the employee may work as long as her physical condition and the requirements of her position permit. Normally maternity leave commences with the birth of the child, but medical reasons or mutual convenience may suggest an earlier commencement. During the eight weeks of maternity leave, the employee will remain at full pay and continue to receive the full benefits of her employment. 3. When a maternity leave happens to overlap, wholly or partially, with a paid holiday(s), the period of overlap counts in the total of eight weeks. No additional paid leave (beyond eight weeks) will be granted. 4. In the employee’s absence, the Executive Director and/or Department Supervisor will ensure that the employee’s duties are covered, work loads redistributed, and (if necessary) a substitute hired, according to the particular circumstances and needs of the case. 5. As mandated by state law, an employee taking maternity leave will be reinstated to her same or comparable position after her eight-week leave. If for personal reasons the employee wishes to return to work with different responsibilities from those for which she was originally hired, she should make such wishes known to the Executive Director as soon as possible. However, requests for revised job descriptions are not strictly matters of maternity leave policy, and the ability or willingness of MVM to accommodate them cannot be assumed. The Executive Director has ultimate responsibility for setting and negotiating terms of employment for all employees. For clarity, an employee taking maternity leave will be asked to state her intentions in writing with respect to the timing of her leave and the duties she expects to resume following her leave. PATERNITY LEAVE An employee requesting paternity leave will be entitled to up to eight weeks leave including or commencing with the birth of the child. As in the case of maternity leaves, the employee should inform the Executive Director at least three months in advance of the need for a paternity leave and the expected date of birth. The Executive Director will assume, unless informed otherwise, that the employee plans to return to his position following paternity leave. During the eight weeks of paternity leave, the employee will remain at full pay and continue to receive the full benefits of his employment. When a paternity leave happens to overlap, wholly or partially, with a paid holiday(s), the period of overlap counts in the total of eight weeks. No additional paid leave (beyond eight weeks) will be granted. In the employee’s absence, the Executive Director and/or Department Supervisor will ensure that the employee’s duties are covered, work loads redistributed, and (if necessary) a substitute hired, according to the particular circumstances and needs of the case. The employee taking paternity leave will be reinstated to his same or comparable position after his eight-week leave.

A fellow insulator collecting acquaintance of mine recently added a very rare and early telegraph insulator to his collection on the original pin and bracket. However, the bracket is covered in lichens which he would like to preserve. Does anyone know how to preserve something like this?

Is there a local school around that provide services, several schools have student helpers.  You could also just ask around if there is anyone who knows sign language, maybe a church?
 
Normally if we have someone with special needs attend our Museum we check on campus for helpers.

Our museum is piloting a program for seniors. One of the first groups to attend has a deaf individual. We received a call from a family member asking us to provide, at our cost, an ASL interpreter for this individual. From a little bit of research, it will cost us about $45 to provide a paid interpreter. We are charging a small fee ($10) for the program and are only anticipating a handful of people so $45 is a fairly substantial addition to our expenses. Have any of you dealt with a similar circumstance? We want to accommodate all of our guests to the best of our abilities. Are you aware of services that provide interpreters for non-profits?

 

Thanks for the ideas.

Hi,
 
We have several rolls of old film and many boxes of negitives and slides we would like to place in cold storage.  As most museums, we are on a tight budget and are looking for good storage at a good price.
 
We had thought of purchasing a small refrigerator (15.6 cu.) for these items.  Any other suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated. 
 
Thanks

Hello colleagues,

 

A fellow insulator collecting acquaintance of mine recently added a very rare and early telegraph insulator to his collection on the original pin and bracket. However, the bracket is covered in lichens which he would like to preserve. Does anyone know how to preserve something like this?

Depending upon the size of the institution, there is the federal Family Medical Leave Act (12 weeks), and there are other laws that provide protections commensurate or greater than this (California has a few such laws). It may be tried and true, but it's probably best to consult with a local HR attorney before implementing any policy which, if interpreted incorrectly, could be actionable in a court of law.

Best wishes! MATERNITY LEAVE The goals of this policy are clearly the good health of the mother and child and the effective operation of the museum. MVM assumes, moreover, that these two goals are not only compatible but also mutually beneficial. 1. The employee should inform the Executive Director of the need for a maternity leave and the expected date of birth at least three months in advance. The Executive Director will assume, unless informed otherwise, that the employee plans to return full-time to her position following her maternity leave. 2. The period of maternity leave will be eight weeks. During her pregnancy, the employee may work as long as her physical condition and the requirements of her position permit. Normally maternity leave commences with the birth of the child, but medical reasons or mutual convenience may suggest an earlier commencement. During the eight weeks of maternity leave, the employee will remain at full pay and continue to receive the full benefits of her employment. 3. When a maternity leave happens to overlap, wholly or partially, with a paid holiday(s), the period of overlap counts in the total of eight weeks. No additional paid leave (beyond eight weeks) will be granted. 4. In the employee’s absence, the Executive Director and/or Department Supervisor will ensure that the employee’s duties are covered, work loads redistributed, and (if necessary) a substitute hired, according to the particular circumstances and needs of the case. 5. As mandated by state law, an employee taking maternity leave will be reinstated to her same or comparable position after her eight-week leave. If for personal reasons the employee wishes to return to work with different responsibilities from those for which she was originally hired, she should make such wishes known to the Executive Director as soon as possible. However, requests for revised job descriptions are not strictly matters of maternity leave policy, and the ability or willingness of MVM to accommodate them cannot be assumed. The Executive Director has ultimate responsibility for setting and negotiating terms of employment for all employees. For clarity, an employee taking maternity leave will be asked to state her intentions in writing with respect to the timing of her leave and the duties she expects to resume following her leave. PATERNITY LEAVE An employee requesting paternity leave will be entitled to up to eight weeks leave including or commencing with the birth of the child. As in the case of maternity leaves, the employee should inform the Executive Director at least three months in advance of the need for a paternity leave and the expected date of birth. The Executive Director will assume, unless informed otherwise, that the employee plans to return to his position following paternity leave. During the eight weeks of paternity leave, the employee will remain at full pay and continue to receive the full benefits of his employment. When a paternity leave happens to overlap, wholly or partially, with a paid holiday(s), the period of overlap counts in the total of eight weeks. No additional paid leave (beyond eight weeks) will be granted. In the employee’s absence, the Executive Director and/or Department Supervisor will ensure that the employee’s duties are covered, work loads redistributed, and (if necessary) a substitute hired, according to the particular circumstances and needs of the case. The employee taking paternity leave will be reinstated to his same or comparable position after his eight-week leave.

It bears noting that, when establishing family leave, it is important to look at laws that affect one's state/the federal government regulations enacted for such protections. Depending upon the size of the institution, there is the federal Family Medical Leave Act (12 weeks), and there are other laws that provide protections commensurate or greater than this (California has a few such laws).

It may be tried and true, but it's probably best to consult with a local HR attorney before implementing any policy which, if interpreted incorrectly, could be actionable in a court of law.

Subject: Re: [MUSEUM-L] maternity leave policy

This is the policy that the Martha's Vineyard Museum is currently following. Best wishes!

MATERNITY LEAVE
The goals of this policy are clearly the good health of the mother and child and the effective operation of the museum. MVM assumes, moreover, that these two goals are not only compatible but also mutually beneficial.
1. The employee should inform the Executive Director of the need for a maternity leave and the expected date of birth at least three months in advance. The Executive Director will assume, unless informed otherwise, that the employee plans to return full-time to her position following her maternity leave.
2. The period of maternity leave will be eight weeks. During her pregnancy, the employee may work as long as her physical condition and the requirements of her position permit. Normally maternity leave commences with the birth of the child, but medical reasons or mutual convenience may suggest an earlier commencement. During the eight weeks of maternity leave, the employee will remain at full pay and continue to receive the full benefits of her employment.
3. When a maternity leave happens to overlap, wholly or partially, with a paid holiday(s), the period of overlap counts in the total of eight weeks. No additional paid leave (beyond eight weeks) will be granted.
4. In the employee’s absence, the Executive Director and/or Department Supervisor will ensure that the employee’s duties are covered, work loads redistributed, and (if necessary) a substitute hired, according to the particular circumstances and needs of the case.
5. As mandated by state law, an employee taking maternity leave will be reinstated to her same or comparable position after her eight-week leave.
If for personal reasons the employee wishes to return to work with different responsibilities from those for which she was originally hired, she should make such wishes known to the Executive Director as soon as possible. However, requests for revised job descriptions are not strictly matters of maternity leave policy, and the ability or willingness of MVM to accommodate them cannot be assumed. The Executive Director has ultimate responsibility for setting and negotiating terms of employment for all employees.
For clarity, an employee taking maternity leave will be asked to state her intentions in writing with respect to the timing of her leave and the duties she expects to resume following her leave.
PATERNITY LEAVE
An employee requesting paternity leave will be entitled to up to eight weeks leave including or commencing with the birth of the child. As in the case of maternity leaves, the employee should inform the Executive Director at least three months in advance of the need for a paternity leave and the expected date of birth. The Executive Director will assume, unless informed otherwise, that the employee plans to return to his position following paternity leave.
During the eight weeks of paternity leave, the employee will remain at full pay and continue to receive the full benefits of his employment. When a paternity leave happens to overlap, wholly or partially, with a paid holiday(s), the period of overlap counts in the total of eight weeks. No additional paid leave (beyond eight weeks) will be granted.
In the employee’s absence, the Executive Director and/or Department Supervisor will ensure that the employee’s duties are covered, work loads redistributed, and (if necessary) a substitute hired, according to the particular circumstances and needs of the case. The employee taking paternity leave will be reinstated to his same or comparable position after his eight-week leave.

The University There’s never been a more exciting time to join us. At the University of Leicester we are enjoying research success on a world stage and gathering the awards and plaudits to match. A judge in a recent awards ceremony described Leicester as “elite without being elitistâ€. We are proud to be elite. But we are at least as proud to be an inclusive and progressive university. This commitment to high quality, an inclusive academic culture and belief in the synergy of teaching and research are our hallmarks. We believe that teaching is inspirational when delivered by passionate scholars engaged in world-changing research that is delivered in an academic community that includes postgraduate as well as undergraduate students. Our approach to research yields great rewards. Our research impact, measured by citations per academic, is the sixth highest in the UK. Our success in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise saw Quality Related research income rise by 18% placing us firmly amongst Britain’s top 20 research universities by this measure. The RAE also revealed that Leicester is home to Britain’s top-rated research department - Museum Studies - which has the highest concentration of world class research of any department of any discipline in the UK. For a University that believes teaching and research are synergistic, it is pleasing that the National Student Survey reveals that 91% of full-time students are satisfied with their courses. Consistently amongst the best in the country, this 2009 result is matched only by Cambridge amongst mainstream universities in England. Currently a University of 23,000 students, with a turnover of £230m and 3,800 colleagues, our future is bright. Our Strategic Vision describes our plans to invest a billion pounds in our estate as we transform our campus. Already ranked in the top-15 universities in Britain, by 2015 we aim to rise further to become top-10. It is a cornerstone of our success that we are the only top-15 UK University to meet Government benchmarks on inclusivity. As a group of talented individuals we are more diverse than ever and stronger for it. At Leicester we are proud of our distinct approach, our achievements and our ambitious plans. If you share our approach join us. School of Museum Studies In its 40 year history, the School of Museum Studies - the only university department in the country solely devoted to the study of museums and galleries - has played a critical and highly influential role in the reinvention and reinvigoration of museum philosophy and practice. By training creative and critical professionals who have transformed organisations and professional practice throughout the world, by producing original, rigorous and internationally influential research, and by working collaboratively on a range of pioneering initiatives, the School has made a significant and sustained contribution to the international cultural sector, to the diverse communities served by museums, to the field of museum studies and to the academic reputation of the University. The School’s research strategy reflects this history: we undertake research which is responsive to the changing international, political, intellectual and social contexts of museums; it reflects a continuing desire to significantly shape the methods and agenda of the museum studies field; it embodies a commitment to produce outputs capable of altering our understanding of the museum and contributing to the museum’s constant need to change. In the RAE 2008 the School of Museum Studies was rated as having the highest proportion of world-leading rated research in any subject in any UK university. The School’s creative instincts are also reflected in its teaching programmes. These are widely drawn upon by universities around the world and, indeed, many of our graduates have subsequently been employed to develop these programmes. Following the success of its part-time programmes but recognising the increasing time pressures on professionals and the need for flexible learning, the School introduced its distance learning programmes in 1998 - the first such development in the UK. Whatever their personal circumstances, individuals can gain access to learning whether to professionalise their museum practice, switch professional roles or achieve career advancement. Alongside our established Museum Studies and Art Gallery and Museum Studies programmes, we have recently developed and introduced new, more highly specialised distance learning programmes. The MA in Interpretation, Representation and Heritage was launched in 2008 as was the MA in Learning and Visitor Studiers in Museums and Galleries.

Is there a local school around that provide services, several schools have student helpers.  You could also just ask around if there is anyone who knows sign language, maybe a church?

 

Normally if we have someone with special needs attend our Museum we check on campus for helpers.

I was involved with an organization that provides a three-day workshop for teachers. A deaf teacher signed up, and we discovered that we had to provide TWO ASL interpreters because it was an overnight 3-day event, and they needed to work in shifts.

Is there a local school around that provide services, several schools have student helpers.  You could also just ask around if there is anyone who knows sign language, maybe a church?

 

Normally if we have someone with special needs attend our Museum we check on campus for helpers.

Just visit http://bit.ly/iphone-stream and introduce yourself in the chat room if you want -- seating is limited. I will show you how to tweak your Facebook feed to display only status and bring your Twitter RSS feed or other RSS feeds and I will upload some of them to the app so you can see how it all works. At the end for museums still confused about the difference between streaming audio/ video and podcasts, I will show you how to generate an RSS feed using free stuff on the Internet, so have an audio or video file (try and keep it under 30mb) to upload if you want to make an RSS podcast feed.

While adoptive parents are not recovering from the physical rigors of childbirth, they do need time to bond with their new baby, and may need time, depending on the type of adoption, to travel to pick up the child and complete paperwork. They may or may not know in advance exactly when a child is going to be placed with them so some of the stipulations of "at least three months in advance" may not be possible.

An HTML version of this release can be read on the agency's Web site at http://www.imls.gov/news/2010/033110.shtm FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 31, 2010 It's Wiki Wednesday! Are you UpNext? Two New Themes Launch Today on the Future of Museums and Libraries Wiki The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) invites you to help invent the future of museums and libraries through your participation in UpNext: The Future of Museums and Libraries Wiki. IMLS's first-ever wiki is a platform where individuals inside and outside of museums, libraries, and related fields can discuss, dissect, expand, and inform the issues outlined in the Future of Museums and Libraries: A Discussion Guide. IMLS will use the knowledge shared in the wiki to help shape the agency's strategic plan, research directions, publications, convenings, and grant making. Two new themes launch today on the wiki and will be featured for wiki discussion from March 31st-April 13th. Theme #5, 21st Century Learning & Information Use, will be led by Discussion Leader, Tom Scheinfeldt, Managing Director for Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, and OMEKA Project Director. This theme discusses how museums and libraries can continue to enrich the education and knowledge building of society by consciously adapting their services to evolving ways in which people want to seek, gather, interpret and use information. Theme #6, New Models & Structures for Collaboration, will be led by Discussion Leader, Mark Wright, Director of Partnerships, National Children's Museum. This theme discusses new models and structures for collaboration among museums, libraries and other organizations which can bolster organizational sustainability and growth and help communities develop effective solutions to economic, social and environmental challenges in the 21st century. In these tough economic times, strategic thinking is a wise investment in the future. Whether you work in, partner with, study, volunteer, visit or are just plain interested in museums and libraries and passionate about how they can continue to thrive in their service to the public-you have an opinion to be shared! The UpNext wiki is an opportunity to share resources, examples of what works, and vexing questions. We hope that it will be a thought provoking ten weeks for all participants and provide food for thought for your career, your institution, and the choices you face. The full schedule of wiki themes and discussion leaders is below: March 3-16 1. Changing Definitions & Roles of Museums and Libraries Martín Gómez, City Librarian, Los Angeles Public Library 2. Shifts in Power & Authority Cassie Chinn, Deputy Executive Director, Wing Luke Asian Museum March 17-30 3. Museums & Libraries as the "Third Place" Susan Hildreth, City Librarian, Seattle Public Library 4. Technology & Policy Development John Wilkin, Associate University Librarian for Library Information Technology (LIT), University of Michigan, Executive Director of HathiTrust March 31-April 13 5. 21st Century Learning & Information Use Tom Scheinfeldt, Managing Director for Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, OMEKA Project Director 6. New Models & Structures for Collaboration Mark Wright, Director of Partnerships, National Children's Museum April 14-27 7. Planning for a Sustainable Future Emlyn Koster, President & CEO, Liberty Science Center 8. Metrics for Evaluating Service & Impact John Fraser, Director, Institute for Learning Innovation-New York April 28-May 12 9. The 21st Century Museum & Library Workforce Joanne Marshall, Alumni Distinguished Professor, School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 10.

Is there a local church that provides services for the Deaf?

Visit the website for Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID)

Located under the interpreting & RID tab you may find some additional information.

There could be a Deaf community in your region. They would be a solid resource.

Lichens are very forgiving with regard to preservation. I checked the online photograph you posted, and it looks to me that, if you don't jostle this piece around too much, you shouldn't have much "shedding". Lichens are very strongly fixed to their substrate and don't just peel away from what they're attached to. I wouldn't apply any hairspray or any other fixative. This could change the color of the lichens and/or damage them such that they disintegrate over time. Of course, these lichens will die over time. It's inevitable. But they should still retain their beautiful colors (more or less) *if* you keep this piece out of strong light (especially sunlight). The collections of lichens I've managed through the years (at different herbaria) have been stored for decades (sometimes hundreds of years) with no fixatives or preservatives of any kind. They can even be re-wet and dried (and they can even be pressed flat when wet!) and they will still bounce back. Very forgiving. Hope this helps!

Please read on if you are interested. FAO SCHWARZ FAMILY FOUNDATION TWO-YEAR FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM FOR RECENT COLLEGE GRADUATES Unique Opportunity to Provide both Direct Service to Children/Youth and Work on Special Projects: The FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellowship program is a two-year Fellowship program for recent college graduates designed to train future leaders in the education and youth development field and to strengthen high-quality youth-serving organizations. The Fellows will work within established youth development and educational organizations providing both direct service to children/youth as well as initiating new projects, research, or programs that may involve public policy, organizational replication or sustainability efforts, or other new initiatives to strengthen the host organization. At the same time, it is the Foundation’s hope that the Fellows receive experiences, training, and mentorship that launch them on successful careers as leaders in the youth development and educational field. Characteristics of the Ideal FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellow: While each Fellowship position has been tailored to meet the specific needs of each host organization, we believe the ideal candidates for all positions will be: Future leaders in the education and youth development field Dynamic, driven, recent college graduates looking for a challenging, multi-faceted position at a leading non-profit organization in Boston, New York City or Philadelphia Able to contribute to and benefit from ongoing training and leadership development opportunities facilitated by the Fellowship program Interested in simultaneously balancing “on the ground” direct service work with “behind the scenes” capacity-building projects, both of which will have a profound impact on the host organization’s work Training and Informal Mentorship Provided by FAO Schwarz Family Foundation: The FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows will benefit from having a mentor from the Foundation and from participating in two training and reflection retreats a year. These training opportunities, which consist of three-day fall and spring sessions, will be a signature effort of the Fellowship and will be designed to ensure that FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows across several leading organizations can share their experiences and expertise and benefit from discussions with leading youth development professionals and experts in organizational development, policy, and education. The training sessions will rotate among the three cities in which the FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows work: Boston, New York City, Philadelphia. Cohort of Ten FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows in Boston, NYC and Philadelphia: The six 2010-12 FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows will be hired by the following host organizations: Breakthrough Philadelphia (Philadelphia), Food Project (Boston), Jumpstart (hiring two Fellows, one in New York City and one in Boston), Museum of the City of New York (New York City), Wheelock College (Boston). The 2010-2012 Fellows will join the current four 2009-2011 Fellows (from Groundwork in New York City; Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia and two Fellows at Year Up in New York City) to form a ten-person FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows cohort, which will participate in formal training retreats and informal communications throughout the year. Salary, Start Date, and How to Apply: The FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows will receive a salary and bonus of $56,000 over the two-year Fellowship plus full health benefits, consisting of the following: $27,000 salary for the first year; $28,000 salary for the second year and a $1,000 bonus at the end of the two-year Fellowship program. Interested graduating college seniors or recent college graduates should email a resume and cover note to the host organization(s), whose contact information is listed below. Candidates may apply directly to more than one host organization. While each host organization may have a different target start date, all FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows are expected to begin their service on or before September 7, 2010.

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

 

Below is a list of Fellowship opportunities in NYC, Philadelphia, and Boson. Please read on if you are interested.

 
 

FAO SCHWARZ FAMILY FOUNDATION TWO-YEAR FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

FOR RECENT COLLEGE GRADUATES

 

Unique Opportunity to Provide both Direct Service to Children/Youth and Work on Special Projects:

The FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellowship program is a two-year Fellowship program for recent college graduates designed to train future leaders in the education and youth development field and to strengthen high-quality youth-serving organizations.  The Fellows will work within established youth development and educational organizations providing both direct service to children/youth as well as initiating new projects, research, or programs that may involve public policy, organizational replication or sustainability efforts, or other new initiatives to strengthen the host organization.  At the same time, it is the Foundation’s hope that the Fellows receive experiences, training, and mentorship that launch them on successful careers as leaders in the youth development and educational field.

 

Characteristics of the Ideal FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellow:

While each Fellowship position has been tailored to meet the specific needs of each host organization, we believe the ideal candidates for all positions will be:

  • Future leaders in the education and youth development field
  • Dynamic, driven, recent college graduates looking for a challenging, multi-faceted position at a leading non-profit organization in Boston, New York City or Philadelphia
  • Able to contribute to and benefit from ongoing training and leadership development opportunities facilitated by the Fellowship program
  • Interested in simultaneously balancing “on the ground” direct service work with “behind the scenes” capacity-building projects, both of which will have a profound impact on the host organization’s work

 

Training and Informal Mentorship Provided by FAO Schwarz Family Foundation:

The FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows will benefit from having a mentor from the Foundation and from participating in two training and reflection retreats a year.  These training opportunities, which consist of three-day fall and spring sessions, will be a signature effort of the Fellowship and will be designed to ensure that FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows across several leading organizations can share their experiences and expertise and benefit from discussions with leading youth development professionals and experts in organizational development, policy, and education. The training sessions will rotate among the three cities in which the FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows work: Boston, New York City, Philadelphia. 

 

Cohort of Ten FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows in Boston, NYC and Philadelphia:

The six 2010-12 FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows will be hired by the following host organizations: Breakthrough Philadelphia (Philadelphia), Food Project (Boston), Jumpstart (hiring two Fellows, one in New York City and one in Boston), Museum of the City of New York (New York City), Wheelock College (Boston). The 2010-2012 Fellows will join the current four 2009-2011 Fellows (from Groundwork in New York City; Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia and two Fellows at Year Up in New York City) to form a ten-person FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows cohort, which will participate in formal training retreats and informal communications throughout the year. 

 

Salary, Start Date, and How to Apply:

The FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows will receive a salary and bonus of $56,000 over the two-year Fellowship plus full health benefits, consisting of the following: $27,000 salary for the first year; $28,000 salary for the second year and a $1,000 bonus at the end of the two-year Fellowship program. Interested graduating college seniors or recent college graduates should email a resume and cover note to the host organization(s), whose contact information is listed below. Candidates may apply directly to more than one host organization. While each host organization may have a different target start date, all FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellows are expected to begin their service on or before September 7, 2010.

 

Overview of FAO Schwarz Family Foundation: 

The FAO Schwarz Family Foundation is a modest-sized foundation funded through ongoing royalty payments from the current owners of the FAO Schwarz toy store to a foundation established by descendants of the store’s founders and former owners.

I have a Master's Degree in Museology, and my BA is double, in, Humanties/Art History, and I'm currently applying in several locations. Are you able to provide a sample of what museums are looking for in a resume? As a reader of resumes, employers are looking for first what you have done. Degrees are secondary unless you are applying for an academic position. With some positions getting over 100 applications, you need your resume and cover letter to stand out quickly. This is not done with fancy fonts or cutesy language. (i.e. you are an educator not a "learning enabler".) I have read multiple page resumes that have said nothing even though the person covered 10 years of work history. Quantify everything. Don't just say that you coordinated volunteers. Say how many volunteers for how many hours and what types of programs or work. Did you work with a collection? How many objects? What type? How much was it worth? What did you do? Did you create anything new or do something in an innovative way? Did you make things more efficient, write a procedures' manual, or train other staff or volunteers to do something? If so, how much time did your new procedures save, how many people use your manual or how many people did you train? How much money did you bring in or how much did you increase attendance? What kind of budget did you work with? Did you receive special praise from museum superiors or an outside group? What makes you unique from all the other people applying for the job that have just as much education and work experience as you do? Also, don't make me hunt for the information that I need. If you are applying for a collections position, highlight that work. Put that part of your work history first under each job entry. Restate this in your cover letter. Put other related work next but don't limit your resume to just one type of work. I want to see that you are well-rounded and flexible. Leadership or project management experience is always a bonus regardless of when and where you did it. Tweak each resume for the specific position for which you are applying. Sometimes this means just rearranging the order of items under each job listing. Sometimes it means rewriting the whole resume in another format. When you are all done. Let your resume sit for at least a few hours and then read it over again. Send it, your cover letter and the job announcement to at least 3 friends and have them look at it. Rewrite and send it off to them again. After a few rounds of this when everyone seems to agree on the major points, then send it off to the employer. I'll excuse one minor mistake because we all make them and we don't always catch them but more than that and I start getting really critical. Good luck!
