We’re celebrating! AHJN has received a Meredith Willson Award from @themusicmanfoundation. The funding will help us as we work to permanently change the juvenile justice system through healing-informed arts programming and helping us create an ecosystem for supporting our youth.

This year, we had the pleasure of working with a small group of CalState LA film students to create a mini documentary on the work we do with our member organizations! We're excited to announce the documentary is now live, and you can watch a short trailer here.

A week ago, we had the honor of accepting the first ever Getty Prize. We were selected for this award by the incredible Mark Bradford. Let's take a look back at the wonderful moments we shared together at @gettymuseum!
