ABOUT
PROGRAMS
The James R. Halsey Foundation of the Arts, in partnership with the community, enriches the quality of life for youth by providing a safe and educational environment where participants are inspired and encouraged toward a better future. This initiative is accomplished by fostering an interest in the creative process, while guiding participants through that process as it relates to the art of film-making, and by providing life-skills training that promotes success in business and the arts.
1. Let’s Film Offers comprehensive film classes where youth take a hands-on approach to learning how to create short films, from pre- to post-production. Films focus on bridging the gap between generations and socioeconomic barriers that exist in today’s society. 2. Generation Change Interviews adjudicated and at-risk Trenton city youth focusing on how they would solve current problems in their community such as building positive relationships with law enforcement and local government. 3. The Architects Presented in collaboration with NJ Council for the Humanities and professors from The College of New Jersey, the James R. Halsey Foundation’s “The Architects” is a six-week interactive program series of round-table forums designed to explore and find solutions to issues that innercity teens face.
NOTE:
Each charity selected will go through a systematic process of due diligence before funds are granted. If successful the charity, under
the guidance of Creatives for Humanity Board of Governance, will undergo a stringent accountability process. It is our intention that
80%+ of funding pledged goes directly to the cause. If any charity is not compliant then we reserve the right to make necessary
changes to ensure that the funding is always used according to our criteria for distribution.
