What is a Pop-Up Village?
The Pop-Up Village is a site activation project that harnesses the power of design to catalyze the magic that emerges when people and programs come together in public space. Its mission is to create a village of civic resources for under-resourced communities so they can thrive.
It does so by bringing together a constellation of programming—health and wellness, youth and family, retail, food, and education resources—in customized buses, vans, pop-up shops, furniture, and other types of mobile architecture and nature.
Place matters, and its power has been taken from those who stand to gain the most from its thoughtful creation. Rooted in the core values of Abundance, Action, Creativity, Generosity, Collaboration, and Participation, the Village seeks to bring regenerative design back into the hands of community. -
Come Popping-up with the People at our First Friday events @ Mandela Grocery Cooperative. Check the events on our website or Community Events on CrossPollinators for updates.
Interested in volunteering? Volunteers help create an atmosphere of hospitality by welcoming and orienting visitors to the experience, as well as supporting the setup and breakdown of the Village. Join us: https://popupvillage.org/volunteer/
