Volunteers
AIA New York and the Center for Architecture often seek volunteers to support a wide variety of programming. Check back here for updates.
Summer Program Volunteers [Updated 3/23/2026]
Summer Programs give curious kids the opportunity to dive into specific interests in architecture and test out their own ideas. Each program explores a different theme through art and building activities, design challenges, guided investigations of architectural examples, and field trips. Programs are taught by CFA Design Educators and are grouped by age: elementary school (grades 3–5), middle school (grades 6–8) and high school (grades 9–12). Each program culminates with students presenting their week’s design work to family and friends. Programs are held at the Center for Architecture and at an offsite location in midtown and will run July 6–August 21, 2026.
Responsibilities/Requirements:
Volunteers are asked to commit to full program weeks, so they can see the project from start to finish and be fully integrated into the program as assistants. Volunteers work directly with our Design Educators in the classroom and assist with all program activities and field trips. Typical tasks include working one-on-one with a student to help them finalize their ideas or figure out how to get their drawing to the right scale; cutting cardboard for younger students; providing encouragement to a student who is having difficulties; and assisting with class management on a field trip. You will not only develop your teaching skills but also learn more about architecture and design in the process.
The hours are 8:30 am–4:30 pm, Monday–Friday, with an hour break for lunch. Candidates should have experience or interest in working with children, and have knowledge of and interest in architecture, design, and hands-on art making.
How to Apply: Please complete our Summer Volunteer Application (linked below) and send that along with your resume to [email protected]. Visit centerforarchitecture.org/summer for further information about the programs being offered.
