Halloween! Planned! 🎃

Are you ready for some scary cool fish?

We are too! We’re hosting our annual OceanScary-um on Saturday October 31st from 4-8pm. What can you expect?

🦈 Lights dimmed and the oceanarium transformed into haunted house, but don’t worry about scares, fish aren’t too good at that!
🐠 Free face painting by MSUM students!
🐟 Games with prizes! Test your knowledge on some spooky looking fish, help the urchin out on his costume, and try your luck at pick-a-duck!
🌊 Waiting your turn for other activities? Well, we’ve got you covered there too with coloring and crafts tables!
🍬 And of course… CANDY!

We can’t wait to see you there!

What a great opportunity for the whole community! You should apply for this internship Dragons!!!

Childcare is not a side detail. It is a participation strategy.
For our upcoming Parent Leadership Training Institute (PLTI) cohort, we are being proactive in partnering strategically with our area Universities and Colleges to create a new type of internship to support parent participation.

We’re hiring interns to lead a creative, supportive space for children while their parents and caregivers take part in PLTI, a free 20-week national training that helps parents and caregivers become advocates for children and leaders in their communities.

Interns won’t be handed a binder. There’s no set curriculum. They’ll design short lessons and activities that connect to what the adults are learning down the hall.
Along the way, they’ll work with kids of different ages, needs, and backgrounds. They’ll connect with parents and family-serving professionals and see community engagement, advocacy, facilitation, and program design up close. They’ll also help us figure out what to improve for future cohorts.

Thank you to Jill Wenger at Concordia College, Lacey Hoppe at Minnesota State University Moorhead, and Tyler Strand at M State for being our sounding boards as we built this role.
Know a student who would thrive here? Tell them to check out our internship on Handshake!
