Long Beach Community Design Center

We are a nonprofit organization that provides pro bono design services to low-income and underserved communities, nonprofit organizations, and assists municipal agencies in community economic development. We match our clients with skilled volunteers from the fields of urban planning, architecture, and engineering. Our volunteers provide clients with design expertise and tools to engage their communities, define their visions, and advance to the next stage.

We aim to provide underserved and under resourced populations the ability to design and develop their communities in their own image by providing high quality, pro-bono design services that produce sustainable and just physical development. We do this by providing a design process that is community-engaged and focused on social equity.
