At the heart of Artists for Humanity is the belief that skills equal power and opportunity. AFH has three goals, which provide inner-city teens with:
- a safe meaningful place where they are respected for their contributions and develop mentoring relationships so important to teens;
- an opportunity to have a voice through exhibitions, commercial services, and public presentations;
- the respect and responsibility of paid employment that promotes self-esteem and financial accountability. At AFH, young people learn entrepreneurship and get paid for their own creative production.
While the goals remain stable, methods of reaching them are constantly evolving. AFH reaches into every niche of the city to ensure fresh input, new projects and media, and a unique outlook.
