re:active is a nonprofit, design-education program for youths 15-19, located in Portland, OR.
Our mission is to inspire and support youth voices while connecting them to jobs.
re:active uses the production of a theme-based magazine (titled "re:")
and other project-based, design programs as the vehicle for introducing students
to design thinking and creative careers.
Our first set of classes began in 2004.
