Oklahoma City Foundation for Architecture Volunteer Opportunities

KIDesign
The Oklahoma City Foundation for Architecture and AIA will be working together throughout 2018 to create a curriculum for KIDesign that will enable us to go into schools during their art class or after school programs and teach kids about architecture.  This new approach will allow us to reach more kids than our Saturday program.  We need volunteers to help create the new curriculum, assist in reaching out to schools and assist in securing funding.

Parents Night Out & Architecture
This program will allow parents to drop off kids age 7 - 11 so they can enjoy an evening out.  During their night out, kids will learn about architecture.  We will host a sort of KIDesign during the hours they are will us.  We need volunteers to help develop those activities and to volunteer during the Parents Night Out evening.  

Drinks X Design
Each Fall the Oklahoma City Foundation for Architecture hosts drinks x design where architecture firms pair with a brewery or winery as well as a local restaurant.  Attendees then visit the firm or project location where they learn about the work of the firm as well as enjoy drinks and food.  Committee members will help plan the 2018 event.
