American Institute of Architects Selects KKE as National Honoree for its Diversity Recognition Program (2009-03-03)
KKE Architects is one of 12 national honorees of the American Institute of Architects’ (AIA’s) first annual Diversity Recognition Program. KKE was selected for its Architectural Youth Program, an after-school educational outreach and mentorship program dedicated to ensuring that high-school students from minority and disadvantaged backgrounds achieve an appreciation of architecture and related design fields. Introduced in KKE’s headquarters in Minneapolis, Minn. 14 years ago, the AYP has flourished under the sponsorship and leadership of KKE, and has impacted the lives of more than 300 culturally diverse high school students, including students of color, young women, and those who might not otherwise be exposed to the design arts.
