Community Engagement Affinity Group

The Community Engagement Affinity Group focuses on providing volunteer and educational opportunities for AIA Chicago members to engage with the wide-ranging and diverse communities of our city.  Programs include Architects in Schools (a bi-annual 8-week program in partnership with Chicago Public Schools), neighborhood walking tours, panels highlighting community-focused design, and single-day volunteer opportunities such as working at food pantries and community kitchens.
