These lively conversations bring the profession to life by giving students exposure to the breadth of career opportunities available in design. Thank you to all of the designers who support our work to provide access to career pathways in design to talented urban youth from Boston. Our work would not be possible without the support and advocacy of committed designers from around the nation! Youth Design salutes you all!!!
