DesignRVA is our annual community day and a one-of-a-kind event that introduces youth ages 8-14 to the design of our region. Through interactive activities, youth explore and learn how they can be a part of the planning, creation, and improvement of the places where we all live, learn, work, and play.
Attendees can engage with volunteers from community-based organizations and design professions like architecture, engineering, urban planning, and construction to build elements of their imagined, ideal neighborhood.
DesignRVA highlights the community’s critical need in areas of health and wellness, land use, transportation, and housing, to answer the question, “How would YOU design a more equitable and just greater Richmond?”
