Volunteer Mentors Needed for the Shadow an Architect Program
Thursday, February 3, 2011
9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Washington, DC
As part of the 2011 AIA Grassroots Leadership and Legislative Conference, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion is hosting the Shadow an Architect Program on Thursday, February 3, 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM (times may be adjusted slightly). And we need you to make it happen! Volunteers are needed for the day to serve as mentors to students from the Phelps Architecture, Construction, and Engineering High School in Washington, DC. The day's events will include a morning Meet-and-Greet with the students, an engaging and design-based icebreaker, and an architect-led tour of the new Watha Daniel-Shaw Neighborhood Library in Washington, DC. Phelps students and volunteers will be placed into small groups for the day to allow for conversation and Q&A.
You need not be registered for Grassroots to participate in the Shadow an Architect Program.
To register as a volunteer for the Shadow an Architect Program, email Yvette Morris at ymorris@aia.org, by January 28. Volunteers are asked to be available for the whole day.
