We don’t want Cuba to be black-and-white photos for young Cuban Americans; we want it to be names and faces of friends and family.

Your generous gift will help bring young Cuban Americans to Cuba to see the real Cuba, experience a culture they have only known through family photos and reconnect lost family members.

How you can help

It costs $2,500 to send one participant

It’s time to acknowledge the past and chart the way forward. We want to be able to send every young Cuban American who would benefit from traveling to Cuba. As our applicant pool continues to grow, we’re working hard to expand our program to as many people as possible — your gift will help make that a reality.

It costs $25,000 to send a full group

With over 1,200 applications in our first month, we have the potential to transform an entire generation – both in the United States and in Cuba. Helping young Cuban Americans discover their heritage and place in the Cuban story is no small undertaking, and it takes a huge community of dedicated supporters to make it possible.
