LICM Community Program

Community Connections

LICM has a vision to center the well-being of children and families through the power of play. We expand our network through our Community Connections Program to partner with nonprofits in our community who serve children and families. We strive to explore ways that more children and families can have access to the playful learning opportunities LICM offers.

LICM works with nonprofits to find ways to work together and can include any number of ways with discounts on:

  • Admission tickets for visit to LICM
  • Group Reservations – guided visit or theater performance
  • Outreach programs to bring LICM to you
  • Event rentals for use of LICM, LICM Theater, or Nunley’s Carousel for a private event

To explore any of these ideas, please contact Beth Ann Balalaos, Access and Inclusion Program Director, access@licm.org.

By working together, LICM and area nonprofits can expand their reach and enhance resources for families, particularly those whose audiences can greatly benefit from the Museum’s unique, play-based learning offerings. This partnership helps ensure that more families have access to enriching experiences that nurture creativity, learning, and community engagement. Through this program, LICM and local nonprofits are collectively strengthening the support systems available to families across Long Island.
