We’ve helped 583 students pursue their passion at a summer program. Here’s what a few say:
Kaylla has loved fashion since she was four. Through Wishbone, she raised $1,722 to attend Parsons.

Alondra has dreamed of becoming a dancer for years. Through Wishbone, she raised $1,722 to attend Brooklyn Ballet.
I used to walk past Brooklyn Ballet’s studios and I always wished I could take classes there. It was never an option for me until I learned about Wishbone.Read Her Story →
Jose Luis raised $677 to attend Academy of Art University to take architecture and acting classes.
I never had an opportunity at school to pursue architecture. I was really motivated to be in room with so many people who had the same passion as me. It made me realize how much dedication and skill it takes to hone a talent.
Daniela raised $3,450 to attend Barnard College’s Young Women’s Leadership Institute.
My time at Barnard College has definitely influenced my plans for my future...I am a rising senior, and because I really enjoyed being at Barnard and experiencing the New York City environment, I am planning on applying to this institution next year.
