Publicolor is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit based in New York City. Publicolor’s mission is to counter our alarming dropout rate in schools across the country by engaging high-risk students, ages 12-21, in their education through a continuum of design-based programs and academic support. By empowering students to reach their full potential in college and career, we combat the under-education and lack of job preparedness that fuel poverty. What makes Publicolor unique—and central to our mission—is the beautification and revitalization of public and civic spaces through the power of color and design, the affordable medium of paint, and collaborations that engage students and the community as a whole.
