ARTS WORKSHOPS FOR YOUTH IN RESIDENCE AT OUR PARTNER
FOSTER CARE AGENCIES.
Culture For One transforms the lives of New York City children in foster care through the power of the arts. Our Cultural Excursions, Arts Scholarships, and Arts Workshops Programs inspire creativity, create community, and introduce vulnerable young people to broader possibilities for their future.
We are the only non-profit in NYC devoted solely to ensuring that youth in foster care have access to the arts. We fill a critical gap in child welfare services: while the arts are known to promote healthy growth at every developmental stage, opportunities to engage in the arts are rarely available to youth in foster care.
Our programs introduce the youth to the wonders and magic of the arts, from music, dance, and painting to fashion, writing, and theater. Culture For One programs deliver sources of motivation that young people need to thrive, not just survive.
