Eagles Nest Outreach Center
Baltimore
Eagles Nest Outreach Center (ENOC), a nonprofit dedicated to fostering local economic growth and creating vibrant urban communities in East Baltimore, is ready to reimagine its outreach center at the Maranatha Apostolic Temple.
ENOC is seeking support to develop feasible, functional, and beautiful floor plans for their core community space, and a potential future daycare. These plans will play a key role in helping ENOC secure funding for improvements and strengthen relationships with local programming partners.
We’re looking for experienced architects and designers to help ENOC envision the next chapter for their outreach center.
Please contact Julia DiMauro at jdimauro@ndc-md.org with questions or to express interest.
Belvedere Vacant Lot Visioning
Baltimore
Are you passionate about transforming vacant lots into vibrant community spaces? The Belvedere Improvement Association recently acquired a vacant lot, and we’re excited to shape its future together!
This lot has served as a parking lot for decades, but with its central location near the Govans neighborhood and the adjacent Belvedere Market, it’s full of potential. We’re kicking things off with a series of visioning sessions to brainstorm creative uses for the lot now that it’s in community hands. The results of this visioning process will inform a subsequent design project with NDC to document a vision for the lot, laying out the short- and long-term improvements and maintenance considerations.
We’re seeking designers experienced in public space design and community-driven visioning processes to join us. The project is set to begin in late January or early February, and we’d love to have your expertise on board.
Please reach out to Julia DiMauro at jdimauro@ndc-md.org if you are interested or have any questions.
Check back soon! More to come...

NDC’s annual awards honor the many dedicated volunteers, community partners, and local leaders who make our places great.
Put simply, NDC wouldn’t exist without the dedication of our amazing volunteers and community partners. Every year, we celebrate them!
Our volunteers come from a range of backgrounds.
If you want to support NDC’s work and have experience in the below disciplines (or something related), we’d love to collaborate.
There’s an amazing symbiotic relationship between our volunteers and community members.
The local designers and experts who dedicate their talents to community projects learn from the community about the area’s needs and challenges, while residents get exposed to key design and implementation processes. Volunteers report their experience to be engaging and enriching!
“Working with NDC has taught me to listen to every unique voice in a design process and to always include those voices in design decisions.”
