High Schools & Youth Groups

In all cases, a Design Ignites Change project must be initiated by a mentoring organization, that then engages the high school or youth group. If you are a high school or youth group and are interested in participating, contact us at the address below, depending on your location, we may be able to connect you with a local mentoring organization.
