evening the odds, empowering possibility.
YELLOW, a 501c3 nonprofit founded by Pharrell Williams, is on a mission to even the odds through education with five main priorities: Abolish Remedial, Revolutionize Teaching, Nourish Youth, Inspire Entrepreneurship, and Enlist Communities. The first of the YELLOWHab micro-schools was planted in Norfolk, Virginia, serving 4th-7th graders by giving them immersive, hands-on learning experiences that are centered around them- encouraging curiosity, exploration, creativity and possibility.
overview
Desiring to go beyond the classroom, YELLOW looks for ways to enhance students' educational experiences by seeking community partnerships and collaborations that would provide their students with many rich opportunities for cultural, technological, and social exposure. These engagements broaden their horizons by allowing them to be a part of the world around them while learning and expanding their reference points for what is possible.
details
Community Partnerships: Facilitates strategic collaborations between YELLOW and local community organizations with complementary goals- leading to more exposure, experiences and engagement for the students.
Guest Experience: Enhances guest experience for YELLOW’s Bright Sparks panel series by warmly welcoming, guiding, and thanking attendees for an overall positive and memorable impression.
“Destini is the ultimate connector! Her collaborative nature allows you to build relationships with leaders in different industries in which otherwise you might not have contact. Working with Destini has been a pleasure, and she always ensures businesses are growing and thriving, with a part of the growth attributed to her partnerships with local businesses. I am grateful to have met Destini because she is community centered and I am happy to continue building alongside her.”
