why we do what we do

How does anything get done in this world? Someone has to have a vision, believe in the cause and be motivated to act. When AFH was founded in 1999 by Cameron Sinclair and Kate Stohr, it was nowhere near the internationally recognized nonprofit that it is today. They had a vision, strong belief and commitment, and motivation to act. Ten years later...and AFH is still growing and has changed lives through our built environment.

When us few designers got together in the summer of 2009 to launch a Pittsburgh chapter of AFH, one of the first questions we asked each other was 'why?' Why did designers of varying backgrounds and disciplines all feel compelled to volunteer time, engage the community, and work toward a brighter future with regards to our surroundings?

now we pose the question to you? 'why?'

why are you motivated to positively impact our communities through AFH?
why is change necessary?

please comment on this post, we would love to get to know you better as we work to further develop our chapter.
