Cafe to open at Children's Museum: Snug Harbor eatery to employ developmentally disabled adults from On Your Mark
Museum-going works up an appetite, especially among small fry. Starting next month, visitors to the Staten Island Children's Museum at Snug Harbor in Livingston will be able to refuel at a brand-new cafe.
Of equal benefit, the cafe will provide employment for 15 developmentally disabled adults from the nonprofit agency On Your Mark of West Brighton.
...Besides the cafe, the grant will provide funding for 15 special-education teen-agers to work at the museum to help with mailings, prepare for workshops, maintain exhibits and assist in the operations department.
It also will help fund various programs geared toward children with anxiety and attention disorders, including painting, sculpting, gardening and cooking with other young people.
