“ The more profound preparation for disaster must make a society more like that of disaster utopias in their brief flowering:
more flexible and improvisational, more egalitarian and less hierarchical, with more room for meaningful roles and
contributions from all members and with a sense of membership.”

OVERALL OUTCOMES + LESSONS LEARNED
AFH SF AFH Portland
“AFH means that I can contribute to our global community my talents and time. AFH helps to
provide the connection to the communities who need volunteers like me”
“I have always thought that volunteering for AFH advocates for designers. We reach out to communities
and they learn more about the value of design. We also are a catalyst for projects to get off the ground and that creates jobs for architects and designers,
usually in a new market”
“AfH has given me opportunities to use - and develop - my skills as a designer in ways that my "job" has not,
while keeping me motivated and inspired by connecting me with other passionate, talented
individuals”
Now : Aggregate lessons learned, invest in what works.
Create feedback loops of learningProvide professional development resourcesDevelop metrics of successDream up more opportunities you want to see
First 10 years - autonomous unsupported effortsNext 2 years - collectively identifying needs
GOALS AND FOCUS
