I have limited availability, but I need to satisfy the IDP community service requirements. Do you have any short-term opportunities available?
Most of our projects have a time-frame of months, not hours. But we do occasionally have short-term projects. Please contact us at info@oacny.org to be included in our mailing list and be the first to hear about upcoming projects and events.

I love working on my OACny project because it gives me the opportunity to design in a way that considers the public good first, and to serve those who do not normally have access to architectural services. I always feel energized after working with my fantastic team, it helps me get through the rest of the week!
