City Access New York’s 1st Annual Beeping Egg Hunt

Photo reads "Crafts, Games, Prizes" Eggs are in the grass

Held on Thursday April 5, 2018 at COMMONS cafe

A fun day filled with raffle baskets, a 50/50, games, crafts, prizes and of course an egg hunt with beeping eggs so the visually impaired were able to enjoy the hunt with everyone. All proceeds to benefit City Access New York’s valuable programs supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and the visually impaired.

Pictures from the event

The Tenement Museum has been working with the Career Discovery Project for the past four years. Over that time this relationship has been beneficial to the Museum and I believe to the students as well. All the students I have worked with brought extremely valuable expertise to the Museum that we have used to continually improve programming for visitors who are blind or have low vision. The students receive work experience and supportive connections as they build their resume. In my opinion, it is wonderful that students are paid for their work and expertise while still being extremely cost efficient for a small museum like the Tenement. However, my favorite part of the project by far is getting to know the students. They have been pleasant to work with, professional, kind, interesting, and eager to help. I highly recommend the Career Discovery Project.
