Strong City/Neighborhood Design Center:Capacity Builder
 
 
 
Community organizations, local governments, and non-profits frequently wish to initiate architectural, landscape architecture, or other design support for community-led development projects that ultimately reduce poverty in their communities. Foundations and other funders are more likely to support a project when it has a clear and developed plan. The Neighborhood Design Center provides pro bono planning, capacity building, conceptual design, and community engagement services for these (yet) unfunded projects. The services we provide enable client organizations to better galvanize support from community and political and funding agencies, resulting in increased investment in disinvested communities. This position is sponsored by Strong City Baltimore in Baltimore, MD; and the VISTA member will serve with the Neighborhood Design Center in Baltimore, MD. Strong City sponsors 30 VISTA projects at nonprofit, government, and community organizations throughout Baltimore City and Maryland. Established in 1969 to help neighborhoods become safer, better places to live, Strong City's mission is to build and strengthen neighborhoods and people. Strong City will provide support to the Neighborhood Design Center and the VISTA member throughout the year, including recruitment, training, resources, and professional development opportunities, and meetings.
