Impact
The June Archer Foundation (JAF) is a 501(c)(3) service organization that provides artists, emerging arts organizations, arts administrators, and students with critical support, professional development tools, and resources for defining and achieving career success.
WHAT WE DO
JAF was established in 2021 to serve individual artists throughout the State of Connecticut. Our plan is to extended our programs and services throughout the New England region, the United States and internationally to expand our scope to serve additional members of the arts community.
The June Archer School of Arts (JASA) brings real-world experience into the classroom by allowing students to interact with established recording artists, writers, filmmakers, and multimedia artists. Our STEAM curriculum is designed for engagement and student learning objectives: college prep, career identification, financial literacy, reading comprehension, and Social-Emotional Learning.
