More than a class. More than a project. ✨

AIA Virginia’s Emerging Leaders in Architecture (ELA) is a year-long intensive leadership experience designed to help emerging professionals grow their skills, expand their networks, and engage with the people and communities shaping the future of architecture.

Through conversations with industry leaders, collaborative project work, community engagement, and hands-on experiences, ELA gives participants the opportunity to learn, connect, and put leadership into practice.

ELA is also led by its own community — the program is fully executed by ELA alumni, now more than 200 strong, alongside leading experts in the program’s educational topics!

Curious if ELA is right for you? Hear directly from ELA alumni and the AIA Virginia ELA team at our upcoming Informational Zoom Call on Friday, October 23, 12–1 PM.

Celebrating 20 years of NOMA’s Project Pipeline!

Our mission is to empower young people to affect change in their community through design. Using the city as the classroom and connecting students to real-world architects and planners, we foster the next generation of design professionals, civic leaders, and changemakers while advocating for increased inclusiveness, diversity, fellowship, equity, and excellence in design.

Local summer camps provide 6th–12th grade students of color with the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of architecture, work closely with mentors, and create the designs they want to see in their communities. For many, Project Pipeline is their first introduction to the design world.

VA NOMA currently operates in Richmond and Hampton Roads, with goals to expand to a third location in NOVA by 2028.

Want to get involved? Volunteers, outreach support, material donations, and sponsorships are all welcome!
