Help support our Project Color Corps Bay Area Chapter! We are fundraising $25,000 to fund TWO exciting projects taking shape here in Oakland this Fall 2025:

Horace Mann Elementary School, Oakland, CA

PCC has been invited to collaborate with Horace Mann Elementary on a powerful and holistic transformation that will lead with new mural framing the playspace wall, with design elements that will continue across the modular classroom and corridor walls. We are honored to partner with Guest Designer, Michael Mabry, on this design transformation!
