Cultural Immersion Program

We put students in the seats: museums, sporting events, concerts, theater and festivals across Arizona. Real experiences, close to home, that widen what a student thinks is possible.

Closer to home

The world starts next door.

Not every first has to be a flight. Some of the most important ones happen a short drive away: a first museum, a first pro game, a first concert, a first night at the theater.

Cultural Immersion takes students to museums, sporting events, concerts and community events across Arizona. Many of those seats come from donated tickets. Students show up, take it in, and come back with a wider sense of what their own state holds.

It is also how many students get ready for a Passport trip: they learn to step into an unfamiliar room and belong there.

Around Arizona

Museums, games and shows.
