NOMA of Central Texas

The young students of San Antonio, Austin, and the Rio Grande Valley are the next generation of design professionals and civic leaders!

Our mission at NOMA of Central Texas is to empower young people to affect change in their community through design. We advocate for increased diversity, fellowship, equity, and excellence in design. Project Pipeline uses the city as the classroom, and connects young people to real world architects and planners to foster the next generation of design professionals, civic leaders, and change makers.

What does it mean to sponsor a camper?

Although it costs us $150 per student to cover supplies, food, and other expenses over the duration of the camp, we maintain a relatively low $20 registration fee for each camper in order to ensure that cost is not a barrier for students interested in attending Project Pipeline. Fees may be waived altogether when necessary. Your generous donation goes directly towards keeping our camp accessible for all.
