ROCKLAND — The Coastal Children's Museum is calling for proposals for programming of all kinds. Organizations and groups are encouraged to present an idea for a workshop, a series of workshops, a performance, or a informational setting appropriate for young children and in line with the museum's mission to explore, discover and learn through play about the natural world, the arts and sciences, and the diversity of Maine's coast.

"There are so many talented people and professionals in this area that I know could offer our visitors and members so much,” said Program Coordinator Megan Rogers said in a press release. "The hard part is tracking them all down; word of mouth and Google can only help so much."

In particular museum coordinators wish to host science and movement programs for young children.

When crafting your proposal make sure you include the following information:

Name of organization or group; name first and last; email address; phone number; physical address; current employer/ occupation; ages your program is specifically designed for; summary of idea or activity; length and proposed area of the museum to be used; focus or theme of your program: e.g., art, movement, science, literacy, culture, health and wellness, etc.; if you have performed the program/activity in the past; experience with children birth to nine and their families; standard performance rate and whether you would be offering the museum a discount or a modified rate.

Proposals can be emailed to info@coastalchildrensmuseum.org or sent to the Coastal Children's Museum at 75 Mechanic Street, Rockland Maine for the attention of Megan Rogers. Alternatively, potential presenters may fill out the form on the museum's website at www.coastalchildrensmuseum.org/share_your_talents.html.
