The James R Halsey Foundation of the Arts (JRHFA) is a Mercer County Non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire,
encourage, and create future opportunities for youth through arts education. Through filmmaking, students gain valuable life and
employment skills, while also creating positive change within themselves and the community at large.The Foundation was
founded in 2017 after a local native of Trenton NJ, Joseph A. Halsey, completed the filming of an award-winning short
documentary titled What If I Were Mayor. After sitting down with local Trenton area youth to discuss how they would fix the
problems their city was facing, the idea of teaching kids film while inspiring positive change was born.
