Urban Planning Intern

At Toledo Design Collective (TDC), we believe that strategic urban planning and design has the power to reshape individual lives, neighborhoods and the greater city of Toledo. A core belief of the TDC is thoughtful planning and urban design should be a right of every person, not just a privilege of the few. TDC works directly with neighborhood groups and organizations to help equip and empower them to advocate for community change and visioning.

• Urban Planning Interns will have the ability to work directly with neighborhood organizations to develop a plan with community.
• Our interns will be involved in the entire design process including community engagement, data gathering, design and even presenting at neighborhood events.
• Interns are expected to have strong communication skills and self-direction.
• 35 hours per week, with the option to work remotely on Fridays when possible.
