Publicolor

education nonprofit organization

Publicolor engages high-risk students, ages 12-24, in their education through a continuum of design-based programs. Beginning in middle school or high school we mentor them for success in college, career, and life. Our approach uses color, design, and design-thinking as vehicles to engage formerly underachieving NYC public school students, and to build a new sense of community. Unique to Publicolor -- and central to our mission -- is bringing the power of color and community to sites that are severely under-resourced.
