Asbury Park School District: "Building A Brighter Future"

Asbury Park School District has partnered with the Asbury Park Music Foundation to offer a unique cultural and educational experience in Havana, Cuba. Please support this educational renaissance and once in a lifetime opportunity for our kids!
 
This campaign will fund seats for 20 Asbury Park High School students and supervisors to join a cultural exchange trip to visit a local music school in Havana, Cuba and to attend the Havana International Jazz Festival this December.

The Asbury Park School District’s College and Career Readiness Institute will provide experiential learning opportunities for student growth by assigning students roles in film, music, writing and cultural activities while in Cuba. Students will have a behind the scenes look at the music industry including event production, coordination and management.

Students will work with the Asbury Park Music Foundation to document the trip on video, write articles about their experience for local newspapers, and visit local schools to interact with the Cuban youth.

Upon their return, students will work with the Asbury Park Music Foundation, by volunteering at the 2016 Asbury Park Music in Film Festival and the Local-2-Global Initiative.
