About this Event

Adaptive Design Volunteer Build Night – Summer Series Continues!


We're excited to share that Adaptive Design's Volunteer Build Nights will continue throughout the summer! Thank you to everyone who has joined us this year to build, learn, connect, and make a meaningful impact alongside our community.

Our next Volunteer Build Night will take place on Thursday, August 20, 2026.

Whether you're returning or joining us for the first time, you'll work alongside our team to create custom adaptive equipment and educational materials that help children and adults with disabilities participate more fully in everyday life. No prior building experience is necessary—just bring your enthusiasm, curiosity, and willingness to collaborate.

Together, we'll spend an evening transforming everyday materials into life-changing solutions while connecting with a welcoming community of volunteers, makers, designers, educators, therapists, advocates, and supporters.

Date: Thursday, Aug. 20, 2026
🕠 Time: 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
📍 Location: Adaptive Design Association

Space is limited, so we encourage you to reserve your spot early. We can't wait to build with you this summer and continue creating a more accessible, inclusive world—one adaptation at a time.
