James R. Halsey Foundation of the Arts

The James R. Halsey Foundation of the Arts ( JRH Foundation) is dedicated to guiding youth and young adults on their journey of self-discovery and healing through film, arts, and media education while equipping them with the life skills and resources needed for future academic and employment opportunities.

We provide youth with opportunities to learn and explore the art and education of film and media in an atmosphere centered in respect and acceptance.

Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) is an integral part of the JRH Foundations’ mission and values. We recognize, accept without judgement and welcome the diverse backgrounds, lives and experiences of all our stakeholders. We believe that by connecting individuals together in a safe environment where all individuals feel respected and valued, we are allowing for personal growth that celebrates the creative spirit and which in turn creates positive change. The motivation behind our approach is to provide all individuals regardless of race, color, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, the ability to use their voice as agents of change.
