There is a place

Whether you are an artist, an educator, a school administrator, a donor, or simply someone who believes in what we do. AJI has a role for you.
Ways to Get Involved
Find your place in the exchange.
Teaching Artists
Apply to join the P.A.C.E. annual exchange to Gqeberha, South Africa. We recruit performing arts professionals in dance, theatre, music theatre, vocal music, and visual arts. The exchange typically takes place in March.
Partner Schools & Institutions
We are seeking school and institutional partners in South Africa and the United States. If your school or organization works with young people and believes in arts education as a bridge, we want to talk.
Current partners include schools across Nelson Mandela Bay, NMU, and the Mendi Arts Centre.
Ubuntu Youth Arts Festival
Schools in the Nelson Mandela Bay region are invited to register students for the Ubuntu Youth Arts Festival, a 3-day arts and workshop experience for secondary school through first-year college students.
