<h1>Creative tools for building community power</h1>

We collaborate with community organizations, schools, visual designers, and artists to make information about public policies, processes, and systems, accessible.

We collaborate with community organizations—organizing and advocating for just and equitable public policies and systems—to create educational resources, workshops, and projects that explain complex public policies, processes, and systems.

Community Education

We partner with public high schools in New York City to create in-class and after school civic education arts programs for high school students.

Youth Education

We support designers, artists, and civic workers to develop community-engaged design practices that center the power, well-being, and vision of the communities they work with.
