Mission Statement

The AjA Project provides photography-based educational programming to displaced and under-served youth; students think critically about their identities, develop leadership skills and become agents of personal and social transformation.

About This Cause

The AjA Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization headquartered in San Diego, California. Utilizing participatory photography methods, AjA’s programs transform youth and communities. Since its founding, AjA has provided long-term, community-based programming for over 3000 individuals, and has shared visual narratives with over 1 million viewers through large-scale public exhibits. We believe youth and communities have the ability to change from within. The AjA project exists to ignite change, break cycles of marginalization and to build healthy communities. We do this through a creative platform called participatory photography that asks participants to reflect on and analyze their personal and social landscapes.
