About the Maltz Museum

Who is the maltz museum of jewish heritage?

The Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage is a museum of action, where people of all ages and backgrounds come to learn about history of bias and discrimination in order to recognize and prevent hate in all its forms in the present and future.

  • Each year we open our doors to as many as 10,000 students who participate in student tours.
  • 3,000 sixth through twelfth graders participate in our Stop the Hate program annually.
  • This year, we created new teacher resources so students can take tours online from anywhere.

Be a Volunteer Reader

Volunteers play a critical role in the Stop the Hate Contest. With thousands of entries and $100,000 in scholarships and prizes to award, we need hundreds of passionate and considerate readers to ensure the best song lyrics and essays are recognized and rewarded.

Essay Readers review a total 15-30 essays total written by 6-12th graders online. Scoring is based on a rubric provided by the Maltz Museum. To prevent bias student names and schools are not included in essays. Volunteer readers may be invited to a brief online training session regarding the scoring protocol, but these sessions are not mandatory. Readers can participate from any geographic location.

Volunteers are asked to read for both reading periods, March 23 – 29, 2021 (PERIOD ONE), and April 1 - 6, 2021 (PERIOD TWO), although exceptions can be made. Readers have 6-7 days per period to review and score their essays.

Please complete the following information to register as a Stop the Hate® reader. Your submission of this information serves as your agreement to comply with the rules of the essay contest and maintain strict confidentiality regarding the essays and their content.

    All information is required! Again, we urge readers to participate in both reading periods; however, if you are unable to do so, please uncheck the box for the period that you cannot read.
