Everyone Belongs
Quest Science Center is committed to fostering inclusion and creating a welcoming experience, so people of all backgrounds and races feel a sense of belonging and excitement in the exploration of science.
As part of this commitment, we have become a member of the OF/BY/FOR ALL Change Network, a global community of civic and cultural organizations working to be “of, by, and for” the diverse communities we serve.
Over the next 12 months we will participate, learn and grow through the program, and bring those skills back to Quest to ensure we continue to create a racially diverse and inclusive community.
