The William James Association is a non-profit organization based in Santa Cruz, CA, that promotes work service in the arts, environment, education, and community development. With a focus on transformative arts experiences in nontraditional settings, they work with individuals experiencing incarceration, high-risk youth, and returning residents. Their major program, the Prison Arts Project, was established in 1977 and provides in-depth, long-term arts experiences for incarcerated men and women in California state prison facilities. Through partnerships with professional artists, they offer classes and programs that help prepare students for a successful return to their community, fostering self-worth, confidence, and resilience. Additionally, the William James Association sponsors other projects that align with their mission, nurturing innovative ideas at the intersection of social justice and the arts.Generated from the website
