Kidsbridge Tolerance Museum
at The College of New Jersey

In January 2006, Kidsbridge finalized the creation of a Tolerance Museum a.k.a. learning lab on campus at The College of New Jersey — a highly accredited college in New Jersey. The Tolerance Museum features “Face to Face: Dealing with Prejudice and Discrimination,” an exhibit created by the Chicago Children's Museum that focuses on diversity appreciation and tolerance.

Kidsbridge and The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) are collaborating to create a cutting edge partnership to teach diversity appreciation and character education to elementary school children.

This exhibit, in 2006, reached more than 1000 children, 125 TCNJ elementary undergraduate education majors, 25 undergraduate psychology majors, and other partners in the greater Mercer County community.

TCNJ undergrad students majoring in Education teach and interact with children visiting the Tolerance Museum and undergraduate psychology students assess students before and after their museum visit. Volunteers from the campus and community are continually coordinated by The Bonner Center for Civic and Community Engagement.

The Tolerance Museum is now open to bookings from both elementary and middle school groups, Scouts, leadership groups, clubs, day camp groups and Sunday school groups.......at (609) 581-0239. A tour of the college campus can also be provided.
