Enriching volunteer opportunities exist for both senior and junior professionals. Local Communities Need You. Local communities need the technical advice of design and development professionals on a range of revitalization projects, including those that result in the improvement of community parks, the reuse of historic buildings and the development of community plans. Service on NDC projects allows a volunteer a significant project leadership role. Volunteers learn about the perspectives and challenges of local neighborhoods they may not have otherwise known or visited.
Volunteers often do work that is outside of what they normally see on the job.
NDC volunteers learn about a range of persistent and emerging issues that face urban neighborhoods. Volunteers can themselves participate in developing new strategies for addressing these issues. Individuals often use the work that results for their personal and firm portfolios. NDC community projects entail teamwork. Therefore, our projects offer fun and fruitful opportunities for networking with industry peers.
