CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF BRINGING COOL CULTURE TO NYC FAMILIES!

Founded in 1999, Cool Culture helps income-eligible families access and enjoy NYC's world-class cultural institutions for free, providing children with learning experiences that improve literacy and learning. Our programs harness the commitment of 90 cultural institutions and over 430 early education programs and schools, to help parents play an active role as their child's first teacher.

PROVIDING ACCESS & SUPPORT

With the Cool Culture Family Pass 50,000 participating families are able to visit 90 cultural institutions at any time for free for one year.

Training, Cool Culture Fair and other outreach activities provide support for our extensive network of educators known as "Cultural Liaisons." Liaisons encourage families to visit cultural institutions, and offer parents techniques to make their visits as enriching as possible for children.

Last year alone, Cool Culture families made nearly 100,000 cultural visits to institutions located in all five city boroughs!
