Balboa Park

The Balboa Cultural Partnership is a collaborative effort to reimagine Balboa Park as a diverse cultural space reflecting the diverse experience of San Diegans. We are partnered with Open Box to support research of expanded access to a Cultural District at Balboa Park. The goal of this partnership is to create a sustainable cultural district that will be a welcoming space to the larger San Diego community, instead of just a place for tourism. The AjA project worked with a youth cohort to expand their leadership skills by surveying their community and utilizing the information they gather as inspiration for a welcoming environment in Balboa Park. These students gathered information about people's connection with their community and what obstacles make it difficult for people to access Balboa Park. The results are coming soon
