Our Mission
Artists for Peace and Justice is a registered charity in Canada and the U.S.A that supports access to education for impoverished youth in Haiti to create a pathway to meaningful employment and a sustainable future. Join us.
70% of kids in Haiti do not go beyond 5th grade.
DREAMING WITH DIGNITY
For APJ, there is no greater gift than the opportunity to empower youth in struggling communities to dream of pursuing a career, rather than simply surviving. APJ supports dignified, full and comprehensive education programs.
Why artists support APJ
-
I've been on the Board of APJ since its inception in Canada. Every year I'm blown away by the support we've received - from building a school to helping over 32,000 kids get an education, in spite of all the challenges in Haiti. It's amazing to be part of an organization that wants to make real change.
George Stroumboulopoulos
APJ Board of Directors -
It’s an honour to support Artists for Peace and Justice as a Board Member. The opportunity to help provide students in Haiti with the tools and resources they need to complete their education, despite the immense challenges they face daily, is truly life changing. Education is the foundation for a more just and equitable future, and I’m proud to be part of an organization that makes that possible.
Kardinal Offishall
APJ Board of Directors -
My philosophy has always been 'think globally, act locally' when it comes to activism. If you can find local organizations that are already effective, it's better to support them than to bring foreign aid and distribute it in a blanket fashion, never understanding what’s actually needed. APJ was my effective way of giving back to a country that I care very much about. It's an incredible organization.
Olivia Wilde
APJ Board of Directors -
I've been looking for the longest time for an organization that would actually do something and that you could see the real results. APJ has been one of the most amazing foundations that I've come across. It's going to be a lifelong commitment. When I went to the Institute my heart was opened in a way I've never experienced before.
