This project is truly inspiring, its best summed up as put on their website.
Called "one of the most ambitious social-service experiments of our time," by The New York Times, the Harlem Children's Zone Project is a unique, holistic approach to rebuilding a community so that its children can stay on track through college and go on to the job market.
The goal is to create a "tipping point" in the neighborhood so that children are surrounded by an enriching environment of college-oriented peers and supportive adults, a counterweight to "the street" and a toxic popular culture that glorifies misogyny and anti-social behavior.

Such a great project and a style that can be used in any of our 'services' units. Worth taking a look at.
Heres to too early mornings, too late nights, falling asleep in board meetings and other joys of being a design student stuck in a marketing interns body.
