Volunteer with NDC

Are you passionate about graphic design, the built environment and celebrating neighborhood identity? Re-Build Johnston Square Neighborhood Organization is developing an overall brand for their neighborhood, building on the recently completed Neighborhood Vision Plan. The brand and suggested built environment projects will provide a positive gateway to and from the neighborhood, help build the identity of the neighborhood, and support redevelopment. We are looking for experienced environmental graphic designers, architects, and landscape architects with an interest in community development and branding to join these efforts. 

Please email Katryna Carter, kcarter@ndc-md.org with questions or to express your interest in the project.

United Urban Roots and United Workers are partnering to revitalize the historic Harlem Park Theatre! The project is led by West Baltimore residents and stakeholders who have joined forces with organizations and artists to create a diverse, vibrant, and economically sustainable neighborhood. Their vision for the project is to reimagine the building as a multi-purpose event space, workforce development and resource center for the community. Experienced Architects and Designers with an interest in community development and creative spaces are encouraged to apply. 

Please email Katryna Carter, kcarter@ndc-md.org with questions or to express your interest in the project.

Make space for play! Abbottston Elementary School aims to transform a two acre, vacant lot next to the school into a mixed-use recreation and education space. Uses for the space will be determined by the school, surrounding neighborhood, and local community. Potential features include tot lots, playgrounds, multi-use ball fields, gardens, outdoor classrooms, and hoop farms. Abbottston Elementary School is requesting support from NDC with redesigning this empty property owned by Baltimore City Public Schools. For this project, we are looking for landscape architects and designers with an interest in K-12 education, sustainability and community development along with experience designing sports fields, playgrounds and outdoor classrooms.
