Ark Aid Street Mission
The Ark Aid Mission is an amazing organization dedicated to creating tools and
services to help people get back on their feet and start more productive and
more joyful lives. The Ark Aid Mission generously gave The New School of Colour its first home, and continues to support NSoC in many ways, including offering space, staff and volunteer support. Drop-in sessions are hosted weekly in the Ark Aid basement studio.
