SOLEcial Studies and the NYPD Create the "UNITY PROJECT"
Since opening the SOLEcial Studies CommUNITY Academy (SSCA) in July of 2023, the goal has been to build and sustain partnerships that lead to young people tapping into the world of sneakers.
Now through a historic partnership with the New York Police Department's Youth Strategies Division, a project operatively called the "UNITY PROJECT" will teach teenagers about jobs and careers in the sneaker industry.
