| S’edav Va’aki Museum Launches New Teen Volunteer Initiative | https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/sedav-vaaki-museum/3205 | S’edav Va’aki Museum | | 9/3/2024 11:00:00 PM | https://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/3205/TeenVolunteerProgram_SVM_001.jpg | | S’edav Va’aki Museum Launches New Teen Volunteer Initiative | <div class="ExternalClass10394B0F812544BA913A7CDCDCC72DC1"><html>
<p>
The S'edav Va'aki Museum is excited to announce the launch of the new Teen Volunteer Program, which will recruit high school-aged students (14-17) interested in gaining professional development at a cultural institution. The museum invites teens to apply as the applications open on Tuesday, September 3, 2024.
</p>
<p>
Led by the Museum's current AmeriCorps VISTA, the Teen Volunteers will gain hands-on experience by engaging with the public and spreading knowledge concerning topics about the Ancestral Sonoran Desert People. Their roles include but are not limited to, initiating informative artifact interactions with visitors; assisting outdoor educational programs; and leading indoor exhibit-based activities. Returning teen volunteers will have the opportunity to gain more responsibility in higher-level educational roles.
</p>
<p>
The benefits of the program focus on students' professional development. The program will satisfy both volunteer and internship graduation requirements. It will allow students to build skills and network prior to college and open new opportunities for unique letters of recommendation.

| S’edav Va’aki Museum Earns Reaccreditation | https://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/sedav-vaaki-museum/3181 | S’edav Va’aki Museum | | 8/5/2024 5:30:00 PM | https://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/3181/Accreditation_SVM_001.JPG | | S’edav Va’aki Museum Earns Reaccreditation | <div class="ExternalClassE585E661BBB34EE39F0043056CE525FC"><html>
<p>
It is the S’edav Va’aki Museum’s pleasure to announce that the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) has awarded our institution with reaccreditation. Since 1971, accreditation has served as a mark of distinction highlighting dedication to meeting museum industry standards and professional practices. The Accreditation Program ensures the integrity and accessibility of museum collections, reinforces the educational and public service roles of museums, and promotes good governance practices and ethical behavior.<br></p>
<p>
As an achievement, accreditation verifies a museum’s credibility, quality, and value to funders, policy makers, insurers, community and peers. The <a target="_blank" href="https://www.aam-us.org/programs/ethics-standards-and-professional-practices/core-standards-for-museums/">Core Standards for Museums</a> and two important questions generally guide every accreditation review: <br></p>
<p>
• How well does the museum achieve its stated mission and goals?
</p>
<p>
• How well does the museum’s performance meet standards and best practices as they are generally understood in the museum field as appropriate to its circumstances? <br></p>
<p>
The process began with a self-study in which museum staff provided information about and answered questions regarding every area within the museum including finances, administration, facility maintenance, archives, artifact collections, exhibits, interpretation, and guest services. Once this detailed self-study was completed, two AAM representatives scheduled an in-person peer-review visit in April to further discuss the information submitted. Following the peer-review, the Accreditation Commission evaluates all the gathered information and then makes the decision to grant a museum with accreditation. <br></p>
<div><p>
The S’edav Va’aki Museum is honored to receive the field’s gold standard for museum excellence and be a part of the 1,112 accredited museums out of the nation’s estimated 33,000 institutions.
