CFI’s Culture Shock program introduces underserved populations to arts and culture in engaging ways. It offers children and families diverse experiences, including arts, music, new culinary experiences, cross-cultural exchanges, sporting events, and trips to notable landmarks. For low- and moderate-income families, these enriching experiences would otherwise be cost prohibitive.

Past Culture Shock initiatives include food festivals like A Taste of Culture and trips to professional performances, including The Nutcracker ballet. Our family outings have introduced participants to curling centers, sailing excursions, and skiing.
