The kids have spoken! They want their school to feel BRIGHT and WELCOMING!

At Horace Mann Elementary School in Oakland, students were invited to imagine what their walls could become. Through voting and conversation, they chose colors that represent warmth, joy, and belonging. Now, together, we have the opportunity to turn their vision into a real, lasting space they will experience every day.

We are raising $16,000 to make this project possible. With your support, we will work alongside students, educators, artists, and volunteers to bring a student-selected mural to life at Horace Mann. An under-resourced space will become one that feels cared for, expressive, and welcoming — a true reflection of the community itself.

Why this matters

Public art in schools builds connection and ownership. When students help shape their environment, they protect it, respect it, and feel a deeper sense of belonging. These spaces become safer, more joyful, and more inspiring places to learn.

When you donate to Project Color Corps, you are not just funding materials, you are investing in creativity, collaboration, and the daily experience of children who deserve to learn in environments as vibrant as their potential.

Every tax-deductible dollar helps transform blank walls into places of pride and possibility.
