Culture for One is a New York City based non-profit dedicated to providing cultural excursions to children living in the foster care system. Through outings to plays and musicals, dance performances, museums, concerts, and companies involved in cultural production, Culture for One seeks to bring inspiring experiences to children who otherwise would not have access to them. Each outing not only includes a cultural experience, but also a meal and a time of group reflection to give thought to how the excursion may resonate with and inspire the children. Culture for One also sponsors children who have demonstrated a particular interest by sending them to workshops and classes in that field. In the past and ongoing, children have had the opportunity to study at the Teen Academy at the International Center of Photography, drawing classes at the Arts Students League, and guitar lessons at the Mannes College of Music, to name a few.
