We are a place where teens are employed to explore and express their creative abilities.

Our Mission

Artists For Humanity (AFH) harnesses the power of mentorship and paid professional experiences to inspire teens to build their future.

Transcending economic, racial and social divisions, AFH teens transform communities through creative expression by collaborating on innovative art and design projects commissioned by clients and sharing their voice through public art.

By hiring AFH, our partners contribute to economic vitality, thriving communities and diversifying new networks for the next generation.
