Each event will offer a current theme that echoes the Capshaw-Spielberg Center’s commitment to education and social justice.  In honor of MY HERO's first anniversary in the Center, the first Salon of 2015 will celebrate people working for arts and educational justice.

The MY HERO Project is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that shares stories, music, art and short films about the everyday heroes from all parts of the globe.  MY HERO uses the power of media and technology to inspire, educate and empower people of all ages. Each year, millions of students in 194 countries use this online educational resource to share and discover stories about people working to create positive change in the world. 

The CENTER FOR EDUCATIONAL JUSTICE is the home to a dozen nonprofit partners who share the communal goal of providing educational programming for at-risk youth in Los Angeles.  The partners were selected by the Coalition for Engaged Education.  Coalition founder Paul Cummins was recently honored with the Educator of the Year Award at the MY HERO International Film Festival.
