The United States turned 249 years old this month! On birthdays, people often think about their lives so far, and make wishes about their hopes for the future. For the USA’s birthday, let’s brainstorm together about our hopes for the country and draw our ideas for making those wishes come true!

The This Generation program series builds self-esteem, fosters empathy, and encourages upstander skills. Children and their caregivers will feel empowered to practice these skills outside the Museum walls and make the world a little kinder wherever they go.
