WE CONVENE PROJECT-BASED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES THAT FOCUS ON REAL WORLD ISSUES IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND ENCOURAGE YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS TO DISCOVER AND DESIGN SOLUTIONS THAT CREATE EFFECTIVE CHANGE IN THEIR LIVES AND COMMUNITIES.

City Builders Design Workshop: A semester-long program for teens aged 13-18, the vision of the City Builders program is to engage the next generation of designers and grow urban youth leaders and equip youth for career success, civic engagement, and creative expression.

Storefront focuses on real world projects in the built environment and encourages youth to research, discover, and design resources for community members across Richmond. City Builders is a 12-week program that takes place in the fall and spring semesters. Registration typically opens in August for the fall semester and January for the spring semester.
