Publicolor: Brightening Hopes, Inspiring Futures

Publicolor uses "color, collaboration, design, and the painting process to re-engage students in their education, schools and communities to ultimately transform them into productive members of our workforce."

Publicolor offers a full range of opportunities through their programs.  The nonprofit sponsors a Paint Club.  Students who participate in the Paint Club can become part of the COLOR Club which provides opportunities for leadership, learning to think critically about the future, and the opportunity to earn a stipend. Next Step Prep involves  middle school through high school kids in literacy immersion and SAT preparation.  Next Step works with high school juniors and seniors on college placement and mentoring..  The Fresh Coat Club revisits former Publicolor projects for touch-ups and allows students to earn an income.
