In the Fall of 2009, the Chicago Teen Museum will engage in partnership with the Chicago Children’s Museum (CCM) to create a Teen Council made up of Chicago youth from various backbrounds and neighborhoods of Chicago. The Council will engage other area youth and museum professionals in order to advise the CCM on the design of 8-9 future exhibits. The Council will also continue to work with the CCM and an advisory board to comprise the driving force behind the nation’s first teen museum.
