IRS990/Desc0PROGRAMS:THE AJA PROJECT EXISTS TO IGNITE CHANGE, BREAK CYCLES OF MARGINALIZATION, AND TO BUILD HEALTHY COMMUNITIES. WE DO THIS THROUGH A PLATFORM CALLED PARTICIPATORY PHOTOGRAPHY, WHICH ASKS YOUTH TO REFLECT ON AND ANALYZE THEIR PERSONAL AND SOCIAL LANDSCAPES. TO ACHIEVE THIS, AJA PROVIDES FREE PARTICIPATORY PHOTOGRAPHY PROGRAMMING TO UNDERSERVED, MARGINALIZED, AND DISPLACED YOUTH. THIS YEAR, AJA HAS BROUGHT PROGRAMMING TO NEW POPULATIONS OF UNDERSERVED YOUTH, INCLUDING YOUTH AFFECTED BY HOMELESSNESS AND YOUTH TRANSITIONING OUT OF DETENTION FACILITIES, AMONG OTHERS.PUBLIC ART: THE AJA PROJECT HAS SHARED ITS VISUAL NARRATIVES WITH OVER 3 MILLION VIEWERS THROUGH LARGE-SCALE PUBLIC EXHIBITS. AJA'S PUBLIC ART PORTFOLIO HAS GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST YEAR AS WE BARE WITNESS TO THE POWER OF PUBLIC ART TO IGNITE IMPORTANT SOCIAL CONVERSATIONS, PROMOTE CROSS-CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING AND FOSTER A SENSE OF COLLECTIVE BELONGING IN DIVERSE COMMUNITIES. IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS ALONE, THIS HAS INCLUDED PARTICIPATORY INSTALLATIONS - SHORT-TERM, LONG-TERM, AND PERMANENT - AT THE SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, THE SAN DIEGO MUSEUM OF MAN, MARKET CREEK PLAZA IN SOUTHEAST SAN DIEGO, THE EAST AFRICAN CULTURAL CENTER IN CITY HEIGHTS, AND MANY OTHERS. FEE-FOR-SERVICE:AJA ALSO CONTINUED TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE OUR FEE-FOR-SERVICE PROGRAM REVENUE STREAM CREATED LAST FISCAL YEAR - A MODEL THAT HELPS TO SUPPLEMENT OUR GRANT AND CONTRIBUTION REVENUE.
