INSPIRE OAKLAND:
Inspire Oakland is Oakland Digital’s workforce development program that encourages interest in graphic design and information technologies through creative expression. The program seeks to incubate overlooked young talent and enable tomorrow’s leaders by giving them tools and strategies to overcome economic barriers to personal achievement and success.
The ultimate goal of this project is to promote a positive image of Oakland that unites and inspires its diverse population while helping to jumpstart the digital media careers of underserved students. We advocate diversity and offer our services in a context that is sensitive to the learning needs of each individual and inclusive to all cultural backgrounds.
Inspire Oakland invites community college students and select Oakland high schools to create a billboard design that answers the question, “What about Oakland inspires YOU?” – the 4 top designs are featured on Highway 80 (Berkeley, CA) with the grand prize winner inspiring locations in Uptown/Downtown/East Oakland, CA.
