Bringing the Cultural Imperative Program to Communities Nationwide

 

The Cultural Imperative Program (CIP) is preparing for its next chapter.

 

Beginning in 2027, CIP plans to expand its culturally grounded educational programming through partnerships with schools, community organizations, cultural institutions, and other organizations committed to investing in the intellectual, cultural, and personal development of young people.

 

Interested in Bringing CIP to Your Community?

 

In Spring 2027, CIP will host an Interest & Information Meeting for schools, organizations, community leaders, educators, and prospective partners interested in learning more about establishing a CIP site.

 

Participants will have an opportunity to learn about the CIP model, program structure, partnership opportunities, site expectations, and the process for becoming an official CIP partner site.

 

First Sites Could Launch as Early as Fall 2027

 

Following the Spring Interest Meeting and partner planning process, selected sites may begin implementing the Cultural Imperative Program as early as Fall 2027.

 

Organizations interested in being among the first CIP partner sites are encouraged to join our interest list now to receive information about the Spring 2027 meeting, partnership opportunities, and upcoming program announcements.
