Work with your hands.
Construction, deconstruction, repair, fabrication and growing. Help turn useful materials and overlooked spaces into places people can use.
Build with us
Your skills belong in something bigger.
Good neighborhoods take more than capital. They take people who can make, repair, design, organize and get things done. Bring what you know. Help build something worth belonging to.
There is more than one way to build
A whole neighborhood takes a whole range of skills.
Make the work happen.
Organizing, project management, events and operations. Bring people together, keep a project moving and make it easier for the next person to take part.
Make the model usable.
Design, software, research, writing and media. Make the work understandable, the tools useful and the story worth sharing.
The Foundry

The Foundry connects hands-on learning, material reuse and the work of building a neighborhood.
Bring experience you can share or a skill you want to develop. The goal is lasting local capability: people who can keep making, maintaining and improving the places around them.
