About CuriOdyssey

As a Bay Area science museum and zoo dedicated to integrity, creativity, and community, CuriOdyssey has a responsibility to foster an equitable and inclusive environment for all members of our community. By centering and uplifting historically marginalized and oppressed communities across our work, we can create more accessible and equitable early childhood STEAM learning opportunities, highlight and address environmental injustice, and inspire future scientists. We will continuously work to cultivate diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and belonging at CuriOdyssey, and we will provide the necessary resources and support to create a safe space for all community members to thrive.

Internally, we strive for diverse teams and recognize diversity does not equal inclusion or equity. Transformation of our policies, training, and other structures is the way to effect permanent change to our organizational culture in terms of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We hold our employee and volunteer teams accountable for working towards justice for people of all identities.

With our community, we continue to work toward this goal through a variety of programs, including our STEMCorps program, increasing accessibility in our exhibit and education program design, providing access to low-income individuals through our expanded Museums for All and scholarship programs, and quarterly modified visiting hours designated especially for people with sensory access needs.
