Every Student Initiative
Established in 2017, the Every Student Initiative (ESI) is the innovative, flagship program with a goal to engage every student from every public, private and homeschool organization in Central Illinois with a curriculum-connected visit to the Peoria Riverfront Museum every year. The program now includes free family passes for every student and complimentary Museum memberships for sponsored educators.
About ESI
The Every Student Initiative was launched with a multiple year grant from the Barton Family Foundation. Since then hundreds of others have joined them in supporting this ground breaking program. Additional general support is provided by the Christmas in the Village event and the Museum’s Visionary Society members.

Sponsorship of ESI Schools
As of December 2024, K-8th grade students from 49 schools and 9 districts from across central Illinois participate in the program. The museum asks for sponsors to the program to provide $20 per student and commit to funding their school or district for multiple years. Funding must be secured in school size increments to add a school to the program. The museum asks the schools to provide transportation for the trips.
