Helping To Build Better Communities
At OfficeWorks, we are dedicated to building a better community by fostering education, career development, and innovative design. Recently, we partnered with three remarkable organizations to host impactful programs in our showroom. It was incredible to see the talent and creativity that emerged from these collaborations, demonstrating the power of community and innovation in action.
Career Exploration Charrette
Last week, OfficeWorks hosted the Next Great Architects (NGA) Career Exploration Charrette, where K-12 students participated in a creative STEM camp focused on designing tiny homes for unhoused veterans. These young architects engaged in hands-on activities, learning how architecture can address real-world problems. On the final day, they presented their innovative designs, allowing parents to tour the projects and engage with the students. It was truly inspiring to see the incredible talent and creativity these kids brought to the table.
This year, the program contributed to Sanctuary Indy's mission of building a micro-community of tiny homes for veterans on the far-eastside of Indianapolis, with a portion of the registration fees supporting this effort.
TeenWorks
OfficeWorks had the pleasure of partnering with TeenWorks, a nonprofit in Fishers, for their 6-week summer program. Teens prepared for the workforce with applications, interviews, and resume building. We hosted a mock interview day, where participants showcased their learnings, gained insights into our industry and the education needed to succeed.
Building Our Leaders In Design (BOLD)
OfficeWorks was proud to sponsor the IIDA Indiana Chapter's Building Our Leaders in Design (BOLD) program at our showroom. This program empowers emerging designers with the skills they need to flourish. Participants learned from industry leaders about crafting BOLD Plans, including proposals, contracts, time management, design strategy, and problem-solving. The energy and enthusiasm of this group was truly inspiring!
