The Interpretive Site Coalition (ISC) originated in February of 1991. The first meeting was held at Martha Lafite Thompson Nature Sanctuary in Liberty, Missouri. The purpose of the first meeting was to establish a cooperative vol
unteer recruitment program that would benefit our staffs, volunteers and the communities we served. There was a need for volunteer training and a need to come together and complement each other's interpretive program efforts. Since that time, the ISC has evolved from recruiting and training volunteers to a not-for-profit organization comprised of historic sites, nature centers, science centers, museums, and other related agencies. It has become an interpretive information network for Greater Kansas City. ISC continues to provide volunteer training and professional development but has expanded its mission to ensure positive benefits to the communities served. Members of ISC want citizens to have knowledge of and the opportunity to visit all these unique interpretive sites around Kansas City. Kansas City's Passport to Adventure:
In 1994 ISC initiated the Passport to Adventure Hunt event to help coalition sites promote themselves and each other. The event has become the organization's major activity for promoting sites and encouraging visitation and is now titled Kansas City's Passport to Adventure. The event is implemented through the work of individual sites and committees. Professional Development:
Through workshops, conferences and other activities, ISC offers members, staff and volunteers professional development and enrichment opportunities.
