ASPIRA believes that young people cannot succeed unless they are aware and proud of their cultural heritage. To accomplish this, ASPIRA sponsors many activities during the year to expose students to their own culture, be it Latino, African American, Asian American or European. There are field trips to museums and theaters, guest speakers and workshops on history, culture, art, music and dance.
