Tiny WPA

Tiny WPA logo

Tiny WPA's mission is to grow and support a diverse multigenerational community of civic change agents—Building Heroes—who want to learn how to design-build great things, make a difference in their community(s), and through design lead others in making Philadelphia a better, safer, healthier, more equitable, and prosperous place to live, work and play.

Tiny WPA is committed to building equity, better designed spaces, and stronger places in Philadelphia by supporting citizen-led design improvements.

Description

The 2021 Community Voices grant will support the transformation of Tiny WPA's underutilized storefront facade, which is situated along the Lancaster Avenue Commercial Corridor at 40th and Lancaster in the West Philadelphia Promise Zone, into a media platform for elevating the voices of its neighbors and Tiny WPA's young adult Building Heroes around issues that are important to them.
