Artists
for Humanity is a veteran youth arts organization
based in Boston, Massachusetts. Founded in 1991 by artist
Susan Rodgerson and six young artists (in middle school at
the time) in a one-room studio, AFH now occupies two floors
of a warehouse.
Artists
For Humanity's (AFH) mission is to bridge economic, racial
and social divisions and restore our urban neighborhoods by
using art and the creative process to join young people with
the business community.
AFH is
interested in sharing its model and creating partnerships
in many ways, including assisting in the development of a
sister organization, California Artists for Humanity.
Artists
For Humanity California attempts to revitalise
and restore urban neighborhoods in Los Angeles, at the grassroots
level, by joining their young people with the economic life
forces-the business community. AFH would also like to develop
international partnerships in the UK and Ireland.

Street-level
Youth Media
educates
Chicago's inner-city youth in media arts and emerging technologies
for use in self-expression, communication and social change.
Street-Level's programs build self-esteem and critical thinking
skills for urban youth youth who have been historically neglected
by policy makers and mass media. Using video production, computer
art, and the Internet, Street-Level's young people address community
issues, access advanced communication technologies and gain
inclusion in our information-base society. |
