Citizen Design Internship
HSC is involved with an ongoing high-school internship. The internship, during school and in the summer, provides high-school students with opportunities to gain hands-on experience with community improvement projects. Interns are encouraged to develop a sense of leadership as they play an active role in developing and designing tools for creating public art and design projects. The Citizen Designer Blog can be accessed at http://www.hesterstreetcollaborative.blogspot.com/.

Famous quotes containing the words citizen and/or design:
“There is only one art, whose sole criterion is the power, the authenticity, the revelatory insight, the courage and suggestiveness with which it seeks its truth.... Thus, from the standpoint of the work and its worth it is irrelevant to which political ideas the artist as a citizen claims allegiance, which ideas he would like to serve with his work or whether he holds any such ideas at all.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
“To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time, any place, more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.”
—Marilyn French (20th century)
