If you could change one thing in your neighborhood through design, what would it be?
Your Street Your Voice and EmpowHER are project based programs where youth get PAID to learn about design as a tool for racial justice
Design
Design is an expression of Form & Function. Design industries include fashion, electronics, graphics, media, architecture, engineering, lighting, media, among many others. In the built environment, design is a physical reflection of the values of the designers.
Justice
Often times, designers are creating spaces that impact communities and perpetuate systems of oppression. Your Street Your Voice & EmpowHER unlock the power and agency of youth to use design as a tool for racial justice, and be leaders in our communities.
Impact
By introducing design and construction careers to high school students, this creates a wave of design thinkers to be our future community leaders. Students leave the program as critical thinkers, with confidence to advocate for our communities to be equitable and prosperous.
