An official partner of Detroit Public Schools Community District, DESIGNCONNECT strives to set creative high school students on pathways to careers in the creative design industry. Since launching our programs in January 2019, we have set a fast pace to help students in Detroit.

“DESIGNCONNECT has been very helpful, not just in bringing workshops, resources and field trips. As a teacher, knowing that there is support for me out there, and that other people want these kids to move along in their careers, has been great!”

Kim Hall // Lead Art Instructor at the Detroit School of Arts - a Detroit public high school
