Throughout the city of Portland, billboards designed by teenagers will be replacing advertisements with messages of tolerance. This project is titled "Create, Don't Hate!" and gives students the opportunity to work with design professionals to create meaningful communication in their neighborhoods.

Create! Don't Hate. is a Design Ignites Change Youth Mentoring Initiative built around the theme of tolerance. designigniteschange.org
