Culture is Cool! (With a Cool Culture Card)

Help me give my students Cool Culture Cards for access to art and cultural institutions city wide!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Scoufaras's classroom raised $3,857

My Project

Let's get our youngest scholars into New York's world famous museums, zoos, gardens and more! By helping to fund this project, you can help give my school's prekindergarten and kindergarten students access to a Cool Culture card, an all-inclusive access card that can be used at hundreds of cultural institutions all throughout New York City.

At Cool Culture, they believe that "art is a human right, a powerful means of self-expression, and a bridge that allows us to transcend boundaries between and across cultures to build community and to increase capacity for dialogue and understanding." What could be more important for our youngest learners to experience at the start of their educational career in Harlem and all throughout the five boroughs?

With these passes, students and their families will be granted free access to institutions they might not normally get a chance to explore due to lack of resources and access, their socioeconomic status and/or their financial burdens. Together, we can help open these doors for both our kids and their families. Let's do it!
