We have six weeks to hit our fundraising goal for Kids N Culture, and we need your support to raise just under $60k. Hitting our goal keeps our program free of charge for students, increases the number of students we will be able to serve, and helps launch our curriculum workshops in three additional states. Our curriculum - fixed on the idea that we must be open and curious to other identities while finding the confidence to love our own - continues to be more important than ever.

About Kids N Culture
Kids N Culture is an academic enrichment program designed for high school students. Our goal is to cultivate future professional and community leaders through a culturally rich curriculum, professional mentoring, and the opportunity to travel for the first time on a fully subsidized international study tour with one of our travel partners.
This experiential form of learning is the most priceless resource we can offer this generation, but has never been a reality for our low-income students until now. Since it’s creation, Kids N Culture has taken students to over 20 countries - with a 100% high school graduation success rate and a 95% matriculation rate into 4-year colleges, our alumni have gone on to study international relations, global finance, and international health - many attribute their drive for success to having the opportunity to see a world outside of their own.
Once selected, participants meet regularly for educational workshops that focus on language, history, cultural norms and beliefs, finance, and the liberal arts of a specific country. The curriculum and expectations of students are monitored by our staff and team of mentors. The highlight of the program is a fully-subsidized educational tour of the country they have been studying, and their personal experiences are captured in the final vignettes and community service projects they complete upon their return.
