TMA NDC- Community Design Project

The Neighborhood Design Center (NDC) provides pro bono planning, capacity building, conceptual design, and community engagement services for community-initiated projects across Baltimore City. NDC's approach to addressing poverty is to empower communities by utilizing design as a tool for autonomy, agency, advocacy, and well-being. We collaborate with community leaders committed to community development that is targeted and responsive to residents' needs and priorities, increasing the vitality of community spaces and the quality of public infrastructure investment and maintenance. ThE NDC VISTA Project creates new opportunities for low-income communities to connect with community design resources to improve their neighborhoods. Through an in-depth process of ecosystem asset mapping, and a series of engagement and informational events, we connect community and institutional partners. These learnings are made accessible to the public through digital and print educational material. The VISTA in this position will support NDC in strengthening our existing capacity-building initiatives, while addressing gaps in our work and setting new goals in collaboration with our community partners. The VISTA will develop systems for conducting and evaluating the community engagement and learning events and related initiatives. The project’s outcomes will prioritize relationship building among community partners and organizers in Baltimore, and the provision of digital and print educational resources to extend the reach and longevity of our technical assistance.
