Founded in 1999, Cool Culture helps 50,000 income-eligible families access and enjoy 90 of 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.

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.
