Opportunities to support VANOMA’s Project Pipeline

Please consider contributing to VANOMA’s Project Pipeline. This enriching camp is designed to introduce students (grades 8–12) to the world of architecture and design through hands-on activities, mentorship, and creative exploration. It’s a great opportunity for students to discover new career paths, build confidence, and connect with like-minded peers. This year VANOMA’s Project Pipeline will be hosted in two locations: Brightpoint Community College’s Chester Campus and Hampton University. Both camps will take place July 13-17th.

There are several ways to help.

Spread the word by sharing this opportunity with students and families. Those who are curious can learn more and register for the camp here>>
