Intergenerational Design-Build Program: North Lawndale


  • Stone Temple Baptist Church 3622 West Douglas Boulevard Chicago, IL, 60623 United States (map)

The city around us is always changing, but who gets a say in how it’s designed? Mobile Makers is teaming up with the Stone Temple Baptist Church on an intergenerational design-build program in North Lawndale. This hands-on workshop series for teens and adults will explore how we can create more generous and equitable public spaces. Join us to help transform a former empty lot and shipping container into a thriving, sustainable garden sanctuary that provides residents with easier access to green space, fresh produce, and the knowledge to nurture the environment!

We are looking for up to 10 teens and 10 adults to join this program! All are welcome to apply, but priority will be given to folks with a connection to the Lawndale Area.

  • Dates: Saturdays, April 25th – May 30th (6 Sessions)

  • Time: 11:00AM – 1:30PM, Lunch Provided

  • Location: Stone Temple Baptist Church (3622 W Douglas Blvd)

  • Each participant will be paid $150 upon completion of the program

  • Learn about what it’s like to be a designer! Participants will do research, draw, design, collaborate, and imagine a new life for a shipping container sitting on the lot. No prior experience necessary.
