Artists For Humanity's mission is to bridge economic, racial and social divisions by providing underserved youth with the keys to self-sufficiency through paid employment in the arts.

    Walk in the door and this is what you'll find; a group of adolescent girls taking inventory of their newly designed handbags that are ready for market; a cluster of young people around a computer completing a project for a client; two young painters working on a massive canvas; and another, with a professional artist creating a sculpture in the corner. The sound of tools, music, and interaction surrounds you. The room buzzes with energy and concentration.

    Creativity is at work and every young person is involved.
AFH tackles the myriad of problems youth face today with tremendous impact. We celebrate the talents and wonderful energy of young people by giving them hands-on experiences in creativity, business, teamwork, and self-governance. Participants learn the techniques and tools of professional artists and the business world while engaging in education, employment, artistic exploration, and entrepreneurial experience.

    This produces life-transforming change for youth and for their communities. With your support, we can grow even stronger in meeting the needs of these talented and hard working young people from Boston's urban neighborhoods.
