Today we are incredibly excited and honored to be announcing a partnership with the Children’s Museum of the East End!
CMEE.org has a rich offering of activities and classes for youth across the East End and those visiting, including community engagement and outreach programming. Each year, their Director of Community Outreach, Leah Oppenheimer, organizes activities and outings for youth and families across the community in an effort to increase participation, access to, and inclusivity within the community.
Whether getting outdoors and searching for and learning about frogs and turtles in local nature preserves or visiting other museums and art installations in the area, such as the Parish Art Museum in Water Mill and Longhouse Reserve in East Hampton, a great time is had by all. Families and youth of all backgrounds are welcome to join in.
That said, coordination of these activities to date has been very manual and across multiple communication platforms, making participation and planning complex and time-intensive for Leah, the program, and sometimes prohibitive for the participants, especially those where English is not their first language.
Exploring Paths is thrilled to help alleviate these pain points for Leah and her participants this summer as they join in on these excursions throughout The East End with the aid of the Exploring Paths app!
The EP app will help participants get to various destinations, keep track of all of their adventures to look back on with a virtual scrapbook, and encourage them to rack up even more in-person and virtual miles and collect stamps from towns and cities around the globe.
We are excited to help ease these pain points for Leah and CMEE.org through the use of our Exploring Paths application and platform, and to join in on the fun with Leah and her families! The adventures begin today!
Whether part of Leah's group or on your own, go online or download our application to explore and learn about the world around you! Exploring Paths is free to use, though should you choose to subscribe, a portion of all proceeds will go to organizations like the Children’s Museum of the East End who encourage youth development.
If your community is not yet supported, reach out to your local destinations and businesses and encourage them to sign up! We have a lot more up our sleeves, but we'll start with this for now.:)
