about
buildingways 🌱
A someday nonprofit
Jeff Goldenson
Jeff Goldenson is a designer and organizer living in Cambridge, MA. He helps 12 to 24 year olds envision and adapt places and programs to embrace the decline of mental health, erosion of community, and accelerating climate change.
Jeff spent ten years in higher education learning to launch student changemakers. He left higher education to center community engagement in the architectural and urban planning process and collaborate with youth as an out-of-school creative educator.
Driven by public health, inspired by public art, and grounded by public education, Jeff helps folks envision equitable cities where youth find joy, culture, and community in our public parks and places.
buildingways🌱
Every project is a broad collaboration across some mix of community, municipal, organizational, institutional, and creative partners. The name buildingways🌱 is a container for this mission-driven work — something to insure, register, be larger than myself.
