Juvenile Court and Community Schools

JUVENILE COURT AND COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

The AjA Project partners with SDCOE Juvenile Court and Community Schools to provide students with access to innovative arts-based programming at school sites across San Diego County. Through AjA programs, young people use photography and visual arts to explore aspects of personal identity and social justice in such a way that creates transformation within their perspectives and ambitions for the future.

“The collaboration between The AjA Project and Momentum Learning has created opportunities that empower our students to articulate their views, demonstrate their passion and explore their environments. Our partnership ensures our young people have a positive way to express their voice, as well as a safe platform to share their ideas and perspectives. The AjA Project has created an environment where students are eager to come to school and encourages our young people to deepen their understanding of who they are, and who they can be. For our students, who have faced monumental barriers and hardships in their lives, an opportunity to tell their story is critical.” Amanda Wallace, VAPA Technician.
