Lucia Mayerson-David and First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House

Project ALERTA is very proud of its many accomplishments throughout its 23-year history, especially its most recent achievement—being selected by the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, among 450 nominees, as 1 of 15 awardees in the nation to receive the National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award, the highest honor for youth arts programs in the United States.

More information about our award:

"I want to give thanks to all of my teachers for pushing me far. When I went to the White House I said to myself, 'Am I dreaming?' I was also really nervous until Michelle Obama hugged me.” Noelia Lugo, ALERTA participant
