We wrapped up our Spring Design Team program STRONG 💥🌸

This season was filled with inspiring teen presentations, creative design projects, and powerful community impact. We celebrated with two amazing events our Spring Review with community members and our Trolley Tour celebrating our 10 YEARS of teen impact in our neighborhoods 🚋🎉

Seeing our teens share their ideas, leadership, and vision for the future reminded us why this work matters so much. Thank you to everyone who supported, collaborated, and celebrated alongside us!

🚨 Summer applications are closing soon!

As an educator one has an obligation to ignite curiosity and passion. Today it was great to see the flames of effort manifest.

Today the youth of Territory NFP presented their Spring work, which included designs for updating our lot at Ohio and Central as well as policy analysis and design in conjunction with UIC CUPPA

The community came and supported. The highlight was the intergenerational dialogue that started tense yet evolved into honest conversation about how youth can make Austin better!

More work is to be done but days like today inspire not only youth but adults alike.
Introducing architecture, urban design, and civics one day one conversation and one project at a time!
