PAC (Play Ambassadors Council)

OUR MISSION

The mission of the PAC is to develop a deeper level of engagement with the parents, grandparents and caregivers who give the most and get the most out of their involvement with the Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry (CML). By establishing the Play Ambassadors Council, CML aims to build relationships with the museum’s most consistent users and most devoted supporters. CML will provide training, resources and support to these stakeholders to build their capacity as caregivers, community members, and champions of play.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND INVOLVEMENT

– Give Back: volunteer your time as an individual or as part of a group in order to promote a culture of giving back, fellowship and philanthropy

PERSONAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT
