This event will raise money specifically for our K-12 programs and for our Summer JADE Fellowship for undergraduate design students.
Our K-12 Programs
Supporting DesignPhiladelphia's K-12 programming, fosters the next generation of diverse, multidisciplinary designers and builders. We offer multiple delivery methods of design education: in-classroom programs, workshops at 1218 Arch Street, career days at schools, and partnerships with other organizations. Your sponsorship will enable us to expand and enhance these offerings, giving more students access to hands-on design and building experiences that will inspire their future careers.
Our Summer College Fellowship (JADE Fellowship)
DesignPhiladelphia runs the JADE (Justice Alliance in Design Education) Summer Fellowship program. This program is about centering the voices of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous students in design colleges and universities about what they want to see change on their campus and in the industry. Our JADE Fellows spend 9 weeks over the summer building their leadership skills, learning about various career paths, enhancing their technical and design skills, and completing a capstone project. The strength of the JADE Fellow program is the cohort of 5 Black, Latinx, and/or Indigenous students who create a strong peer group among one another – together they are the catalysts for change for one another and for our industry.
