Our Mission
To empower youth and families in communities of color to defeat abuse and violence through expressive arts, social and emotional learning and positive quality of life experiences.
Our Purpose
At A.I.R. Project, we are driven by a deep-seated purpose born from personal experiences of abuse, violence, and the subsequent mental trauma that too often affects the descendants of the African diaspora. Our nonprofit organization was founded on the recognition of a pressing need: to break the generational cycles of suffering that impact our communities.
