A note from Elida
Why a decade is worth celebrating

Ten years of healing and justice
Since 2016, AHJN's six founding organizations have grown into twenty-four. In the past year alone, 2,343 young people across Los Angeles County gained access to healing-centered arts programming.
Our organizations foster critical knowledge, community belonging, self-awareness, and radical joy, all with art at the center. Join us to celebrate a decade of this work, honor the collaborations that shaped it, and build the connections that carry it forward.

Registration is handled on GoFundMe and opens in a new tab. One free ticket reserves your spot; bring the whole family.
Can't make it? You can still grow the garden.
Every gift helps AHJN bring healing-centered arts to more young people across Los Angeles. If you can't join us on the 22nd, a contribution to our 10th-anniversary fundraiser keeps the work going.
Six became twenty-four
This milestone belongs to every organization in the network: the six who started it in 2016 and the twenty-four who carry it now.
