Association of Children's Museums

The Association of Children's Museums (ACM) is a professional organization that supports and advocates for children's museums globally. Established in 1962 and based in Washington, D.C., ACM has grown to include over 470 members from 50 states and 19 countries. It serves as a key resource for children's museums, promoting collaboration and sharing of best practices. ACM offers various services, including organizing conferences like InterActivity, which facilitates networking and idea exchange among professionals. The organization publishes a quarterly magazine, *Hand to Hand*, that highlights trends and innovations in the field. Additionally, ACM administers grants and partners with organizations to enhance children's health and education initiatives. It also recognizes significant contributions to children's education through awards like the Great Friend to Kids Award. In 2023, ACM introduced a strategic plan emphasizing Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion (DEAI), along with environmental sustainability. This plan will shape ACM's future initiatives and goals.
