Abstract
This paper aims to present ways in which community non-profits in the arts can help address prevalent issues that curb the success of African American adolescent males. Through research, I answer the following question: How can community non-profits in the arts, like TRANSIT ARTS, help African American adolescent males despite challenges that are present within the community? TRANSIT ARTS, a youth arts development program for urban youth, successfully designed an interdisciplinary community arts program that pairs urban youth with predominantly African American male master artists. TRANSIT ARTS helped African American adolescent males realize their potential and express themselves through positive creative mediums after involvement with community-based arts mentoring.
