Community Partnerships

Community-based programs for youth combine visits to the Museum with ongoing learning sessions at community sites. The Parrish works with hundreds of children through partnerships with regional schools and after-school and summer programs. The Museum’s current partners include Southampton Elementary, Intermediate, and High Schools, Tuckahoe Common School, Bridgehampton School, the Bridgehampton Childcare and Recreation Center after school and summer programs, Southampton Youth Association, and Long Island Head Start.
