Culturator crafts change

Social sciences are the study of society and human behavior. Fundamental to understanding our role as community members, decision-makers, and Earth’s inhabitants, these studies are often underrepresented in the high school curricula. Culturator is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides high school students with the tools and platforms to engage with topics in the social sciences through our journal, Culturator: A Journal of Global Voices.

What we see

Progress without ethics is nothing. Intelligence without wisdom is nothing. We want to be a leading voice for a future where every high school student can explore, understand, and contribute to the study of social sciences, thereby enabling a more empathetic, informed, and socially responsible world.
