Get Involved
So you entered our competitions, bugged your friends and family about Architecture for Humanity, read Design Like You Give A Damn and bought a T-shirt. What else can you do?
Give Design Services
Sign Up to VolunteerIf you are a designer and have time to offer your services, please sign up to volunteer! Whether you are interested in part-time, short-term, or full time opportunities, want to be in the field or help in the office, we can always use your skills. |
See Current OpportunitiesArchitecture for Humanity posts volunteer opportunities on our site and in our newsletter. In some cases we're looking for help with a specific project, in other cases we're putting a call out for design help on behalf of a partner. Opportunities range from short-term to six-month stints. |
Join a local chaperSign up with a local chapter in your community. Currently groups are meeting around the world. For a list of local chapters, including links to their designs on the Open Architecture Network. |
Share KnowledgeHow can you help communities by design if you can't share it? Post your designs on The Open Architecture Network, a collaborative online tool and network where architects and designers work everyday with community leaders, nonprofits, and educators to improve the built environment. |
Be A Design Advocate
DonateWe believe in sustainable prosperity for everyone across the world. On the gulf coast in East Biloxi, we were able to leverage donations from individuals like yourself into a community design process that rebuilt 45% of the area. Help us start the next meaningful project. |
Sponsor a DesignerThe success of our projects depends on the dedicated effort and tremendous talents of design fellows in the field. A little bit of support goes a long way. $100 will support a designer for a day, $500 sustains them for a week, $1500 can lead to a month and $15,000 can help for a year. |
Spread The WordHelp us spread the word by staying up-to-date on volunteer and job opportunities, upcoming competitions, follow the progress of our projects, and read the occasional off-topic tidbit, sign up for our newsletter. You will receive a monthly newsletter informing you of current projects, calls for help, links and news. |
Help FundraiseArchitecture for Humanity depends on donations from individuals like you. We receive a majority of our donations from individuals. In 2005, over 25% of funds raised came from people between 7-30 years old. Be it matching contributions from your company to selling gingerbread cookies, any help will be greatly appreciated. |
What do you get out of this?
By showing an active interest in Architecture for Humanity, you are part of a growing grassroots humanitarian design movement helping to change the perception of the role of the designer. In most circles, architecture and design is seen as a service for the privileged. Our profession is guilty of embracing this ideal. Design should be a profession of inclusion whose talents help those who need them most. It is time for you to change the perception and design like you give a damn.
