At the Center / Architecture + Design, we believe every child should have access to design education. One of a handful of ways we do that is by hosting Design Workshops for Families. More information below.
This volunteer opportunity is for individuals and/or group of individuals to assist with workshop material management and assist with the program facilitation (included but not limited to hands-on demonstration, interaction and engagement with attendees, or enthusiastic reading/storytelling). We look to you to be an ambassador of design education and the Center during your time with us. Prior to beginning of the session (and included in the shift time) the Center Staff will take some time to orient you on the venue and the day's program.

This engaging monthly program allows you and your children to spend time together listening to a story then designing a solution to a challenging problem highlighted in the story. We’ll help you explore the building blocks of architecture, design, and city planning - and perhaps inspire you to become designers in your own lives. We share a new story and design challenge on the first Saturday of every month*, so you can come again and again to work together to make something amazing.

Mission Statement
The Center for Architecture and Design’s mission is to engage and educate the public about the importance of architecture and design to the quality of their lives. Design impacts the lives of our citizens, and citizens educated about design improve our lives. We need to empower all voices and bring everyone to the table if we are going to continue to thrive as a society that serves and benefits all. The Center believes that designers are powerful advocates to accomplish these lofty goals, therefore we have drafted the below value statements that will strategically guide all of our programs and initiatives.
Description
The Center provides Philadelphia with educational programs, exhibitions, and a public space to explore architecture, urban planning, and design, allowing visitors the opportunity to understand how these disciplines affect us all in our daily lives. Using our city's distinctive breadth of architecture, pioneering urban design, and manufacturing heritage as the foundation for conversation, we educate the public through talks, exhibitions, publications, hands-on workshops, design competitions, festivals, and children’s programming.
The Center's signature annual festival, DesignPhiladelphia. Other Programs + Events include: Edmund N. Bacon Prize & Talk, Louis I. Kahn Memorial Lecture, Architecture in Education, and PARK(ing) Day Philadelphia to name a few.
The Center brings together architects, designers, developers, thought leaders, local representatives, and the public under one roof. An independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the Center was founded in 2002 by the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA Philadelphia). The Center is free to visit and open to the public five days a week.
