Culture For One transforms the lives of New York City children in foster care through the power of the arts. We provide opportunities to inspire their creativity, stimulate their intellect, and introduce them to broader possibilities for their future. Our cultural excursions, creative workshops, art scholarships, and one to one mentoring nurture big dreams and encourage higher education and career planning. Through exposure to the arts and positive role models we help these most at-risk youth build confidence, acquire life skills, and identify new interests, as well as improve their academic performance. Culture For One’s programs deliver sources of motivation that these young people need to thrive … not just survive.
