THE POWER OF CHILDREN

The Children’s Museum recognizes youth that make significant contributions and create important projects to benefit others. The Power of Children Awards (POCA) were created in 2005 to align with the mission of The Children’s Museum. The awards were inspired by the museum’s influential permanent exhibit, The Power of Children: Making a Difference, which features three extraordinary children who touched the world in unique ways: Anne Frank, Ruby Bridges, and Ryan White.

Each award recipient will receive the following:

• A $2,000 grant to continue his or her extraordinary work.
• A four-year post-secondary scholarship to a participating institution of higher learning.
• Recognition in the museum’s The Power of Children exhibit for at least one year. This includes a video interview about their service project.
• Honor and recognition during a special awards event on Nov. 7, 2014, at The Children's Museum.
