AFH BOSTON LOGO

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.

AFH CALIFORNIA LOGO
STREET-LEVEL YOUTH MEDIA LOGO 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.
