Nashville Matchmaker

The Nashville Civic Design Center is hosting a Volunteer Training Breakfast for anyone interested in volunteering with Design Your Neighborhood (DYN), which is a 7th and 8th grade curriculum being implemented in Metro Nashville Public Schools. The projects have students explore the need for more transportation and affordable housing options in their school’s neighborhood, and problem solve with design. We will be needing volunteers to go into classrooms and support student projects. Volunteer involvement will be critical to bringing the projects to life in the classroom and ultimately developing our next generation of citizens to understand and value the role of design in creating healthy, functional, and beautiful communities. During the training, volunteers will become familiar with DYN projects, learn best practices for working with middle schoolers, and receive resources for presentations. Please sign up and pass the invitation along to anyone interested. Contact Melody Gibson for questions: melody@civicdesigncenter.org
