At PA Humanities, we believe in the power of storytelling to cross barriers and build connections. Explore stories of how PA Humanities teamed up with people and communities around the state to use the humanities as a tool for everything from youth development to community building to lifelong education.

Welcome to the next installment of LET’S RISE, the PA Humanities statewide video project,  created in partnership with Emmy-winning filmmaker Kelly Dessoye in celebration of our 50th anniversary. In December, we’re spotlighting how young people are engaging with the humanities through PA Humanities programs and initiatives and finding new ways to understand themselves, one another, and their communities. We invite you to watch and reflect, and join us in ensuring that the humanities remain a vibrant force in Pennsylvania.
