Urban Arts is proud to receive support from @Apple to expand its work and impact across New York. In celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth, Apple is working with organizations around the world to expand access to educational and creative opportunities to young people in under-resourced communities—and we are honored to be among them.

“This support from #Apple represents a powerful alignment of innovation and opportunity for youth,” says Philip Courtney, CEO of Urban Arts. “Together, we’re expanding what’s possible for students by connecting cutting-edge technology with pathways to college, career, and lifelong creative confidence.”

This work reflects a shared commitment to advancing opportunity, creative expression, and economic mobility through education. At Urban Arts, we use digital game design as a pathway to college and career, empowering young people to see themselves as creators, leaders, and changemakers. Apple’s support strengthens our ability to provide students with the equipment, instruction, mentorship, and access they need to build real-world skills and imagine bold futures.

We stand with inspiring partners across the globe who are helping young people connect, create, and thrive. We will continue investing in the next generation and celebrating what’s possible when innovation, culture, and community come together.

Game changers start here.
