Every Student Initiative Access Manager- Full Time
The Peoria Riverfront Museum is the only multidisciplinary institution of its kind in the nation—combining art, science, history, and achievement. Through our collections, exhibitions, giant screen theater, dome planetarium, and dynamic programming, we tell stories that build confidence, spark life-long learning, and unleash the full talent and genius of every individual.
At the heart of this mission is our Every Student Initiative (ESI)—a groundbreaking program launched in 2017 to ensure every student in Central Illinois has a curriculum-connected museum experience each year. ESI provides free family passes for every student, complimentary memberships for sponsored educators, and meaningful connections that extend learning far beyond the classroom. What began with the visionary support of the Barton Family Foundation has grown into a movement, sustained by hundreds of partners and donors who believe in the power of access to cultural and educational excellence
We are seeking a passionate and results-driven ESI Access Manager to expand this transformative program throughout Central Illinois and across the state.
