Help the next generation find their seat at the table
Design firms, builders, developers, manufacturers and professional groups help us show kids the real people behind every building, park and street. Here's how you can be part of it.
Four ways to get involved
Start small with a school visit, or sponsor something kids will keep for years. Every partnership is shaped around what your team wants to give.
Sponsor a Ribbonfield book
Help fund a coloring book, activity book or picture book about a real design and building career.
- Your name on the book's thank-you page
- Copies to share with schools and families in your community
Sponsor a classroom kit
Put Ribbonfield lesson plans and materials into an elementary classroom near your office.
- Choose a school or let us match you
- Optional visit from your team when the kit is used
Visit, mentor or host
Share what you do. Career talks at schools, studio and job-site visits, portfolio reviews for teens, or a Q&A for our blog.
- Great for employee volunteer hours
- We handle the planning with the school
Fund a scholarship or program
Support a scholarship, camp seat or future neighborhood chapter where students work on real projects with professionals.
- Listed on our Scholarships page
- Built with you, around your goals
Good for kids, good for your team
Reach the next workforce early
Meet students and families years before they choose a major, starting in elementary school.
Real community impact
Programs in the neighborhoods where you design and build, with a simple report on what your support made happen.
Recognition that fits
Thanks on our website and in the books and kits you sponsor, and content you can share with clients and recruits.
Meaningful volunteer time
Ready-made ways for your people to give back, using the skills they already have.
Our one rule: sponsors are thanked on the credit page, never written into the story. Kids trust Ribbonfield because the stories are about the work, not about a brand.
The industry doesn't yet look like the kids it builds for
Kids decide early what they can be. Partners help them see these careers before the door closes.
