We are looking for volunteers who are interested in helping us develop the design education curriculum and/or participate in our spring youth semester program.

We are looking for volunteers who are interested in becoming liaisons for engagement initiatives and/or help us plan our 10th Anniversary community celebration.
Volunteer Opportunity #3
Design Session
Storefront’s Design Session provides one-on-one advice, conceptual sketches, and plans of actions. Volunteers demonstrate qualifications in the planning and design field and offer guidance on a volunteer basis.
