Help send Huskies, many of whom are first gen college students, on a life-changing trip to Cuba!

The Cuba 2025 Spring Break Experience.

Students can participate in a unique, unforgettable opportunity to visit Cuba. Students will learn from Cuban specialists about the country’s renowned disaster risk reduction program and the cooperation between the government and non-governmental organizations. Help our students experience the history and culture of Cuba.

Tour museums that dive into Cuba’s complex past, including the Cuban Revolution and cultural and religious institutions created by formerly enslaved African laborers.
Explore a sugar plantation, converted into a museum commemorating slave revolts.
Visit an organic farm and the home and studio of American literary great Ernest Hemingway.
Stay in Old Havana, a UNESCO world heritage site, a block away from the sea.

Help defray costs making this transformative experience affordable to Huskies. The trip is co-sponsored by the Center for Latino and Latin American Studies and the Center for Nonprofit and NGO Studies and will be hosted by Cuban NGO Fundación Antonio Núñez Jimenez.
