Discover. Experience. Create.

SAF offers workshops, tours and school programs that are interactive, engaging and conceived to inspire a lifelong connection between youth of all ages and their communities. By developing programs that reach out and speak directly to the younger generations and their educators, we spark their desire to bond with and care for the built environment of the present and their future. Scholarships to participate in our youth programs are available. To request a scholarship, contact SAF's Program Director at aletheia@seattlearchitecture.org or 206-667-9184.

Architecture and Design Mentoring Opportunities:
ACE Mentor Program
ACE introduces Seattle-area high school students to the opportunities available in the architecture, construction, and engineering industries. Each opportunity runs during the school year, from October to May. Volunteers from local firms in the building industry serve as mentors, sharing with the students their insights, perspectives, and experiences, and introducing them to many of the tools used by professionals in the industry. For more information see the ACE Washington website.
