Subjects to Change is an unusual museum program in that it explicitly focuses on empowering teens as community leaders.

Over the past four years, I''ve been running a small regional art and history museum in Santa Cruz, CA. Every time we encourage a volunteer to launch her own collections research, or empower teens to launch their own program series, or invite new partners into our projects, we invite them to participate. Empowerment?
