Prince George's African American Museum & Cultural Center

The Prince George's African American Museum & Cultural Center will support a museum curriculum and certification program for community college students, intended to increase professional knowledge and skills. The museum will work in partnership with the Workforce Development Program at Prince George's Community College to create a Museum Africana Studies Curriculum Model to share with other community colleges. The certification program is a training course revolving around a museum studies internship project highlighting African American history. The project will offer practical entry-level training experience to PGCC students interested in pursuing careers in museums. The interns will work as part of a team and gain a broad understanding of how a particular department functions within the context of a major museum.
