WHO WE ARE
YUCA is a non-profit community based organization in the South Bronx that cultivates confidence, innovation, and leadership in its students. Second, it encourages their pursuit of higher education and careers in the art and design fields, where people of color are dramatically underrepresented. Finally, it provides opportunities to explore social justice issues through the creative production process.
