| Description: | The William James Association is a nonprofit, community service corporation founded in 1973 by Page Smith and Paul Lee. The association is named for the American philosopher, William James, who was deeply concerned with the relationship between philosophical thought and social action. |
| Mission: | The William James Association promotes work service in the arts, environment, education, and community development. Our major concern has been transformative arts experiences in nontraditional settings, working with prisoners, high-risk youth and parolees. |
| Programs: | The Prison Arts Project contracts with professional artists to provide in-depth, long-term arts experiences for incarcerated men and women. The Community Youth Arts Project contracts with professional artists to work with disenfranchised and "at-risk" youth in alternative schools and detention facilities in and around Santa Cruz, CA. The William James Fiscal Sponsorship Program assists emerging nonprofit groups and community organizations by providing grant-related administrative support, tax-exempt status, and fiscal sponsorship. |
