In 2000, a group of concerned Black designers in Chicago came together to form Project Osmosis. Our mission was to create a legacy for the next generation of designers of color and to provide a safe space for them to develop.
Now, for more than 20 years, Project Osmosis—a 501c3 nonprofit—has helped over 10,000 youth in Chicago who were lacking resources explore careers in design.
For more than 20 years, we’ve provided programs, resources, and opportunities to our “Osmosites.” We’ve partnered with more than 50 organizations to open our youth’s minds to the opportunities available to them in the design industry; whether that’s graphic, fashion, industrial, architectural, animation or digital design.
We’re teaching our youth that THEIR DREAMS MATTER.
Transform the life of a youth and help them realize their creative potential.
