Membership

Members get special access to experiences, people, objects, and places that allows them to see the world through the eyes of newcomers who began their lives in America on the Lower East Side, and share personal stories of their own. Help us to realize our vision of a society that embraces and values the fundamental role of immigration in the evolving American identity.

Engage with the Tenement Museum on a deeper level by joining the President’s Circle or the Storyteller’s Society for young professionals.
