We’re excited to announce Youth Design Leadership for Community Safety (YDL)! Chicago Mobile Makers has teamed up with Studio Gang and Goldin Institute to offer this FREE 6-month program to students ages 13-18 who have a connection to Garfield Park. Join us for a hands-on exploration of design and change-making!
YDL will connect with larger initiatives happening in Garfield Park and participate in community-led planning and design projects focused on creating safe space, promoting community wellbeing, and increasing access to opportunity. This program will help participants establish a foundation to communicate, advocate, and make an impact through design.
YDL is possible because of the generous support of the Polk Brothers Foundation.
Participants will receive a welcome package with swag and a $1200 stipend.
Apply by April 26th!
