​Topic for this walk: The Ticket to Give Back

​One of the things I keep coming back to: I want more designers to do more good in the world. Not as a side project, not as a resume line. Actually showing up.

​Right now, signing up to volunteer feels like applying for a job. A form, some essay questions, a wait to hear back. No date, no "I'm going Sunday," no excitement.

​This walk, we're designing what that could feel like instead: claiming a volunteer spot the way you'd grab the last ticket to something you didn't want to miss. We'll look at real Toronto nonprofits as we go, because this only works if it's built for more than one.

​Short walk, then we sit together and sketch it out. Small group this time. Bring a laptop if you've got one.

​About designwalks™

​designwalks™ is a monthly walk-and-talk gathering for the design community, held on the last Saturday of every month in Toronto.

​Built around honest conversation and shared movement, designwalks™ creates space for designers to connect beyond portfolios, titles, and transactional networking. Each walk brings together creatives from different backgrounds to exchange ideas, share experiences, and build meaningful relationships over time.

​Design, in motion.

​Who this is for:

​You don’t have to be a designer to join designwalks™. Currently, we welcome people working across the broader creative and product industry—makers, researchers, strategists, developers, artists, founders, and others who care deeply about design, creativity, and thoughtful conversation.
