She launched Betty Carter’s Jazz Ahead, a one to two week seminar developed with organizations such as the International Association for Jazz Education, 651 Arts, and the Kennedy Center, culminating in a final concert featuring students with instructors. She continued this work throughout her life and received the National Medal of Arts in 1997.
