Building
Foundations for Life
We build futures through housing and hands-on skills.
Today’s young people face soaring housing costs, anxiety, and uncertainty about work. At 500 Acres, we give them land, tools, and training to build homes, grow food, and strengthen their communities. But we cannot achieve our mission alone. Find out how you can help.
Our Fellowships
The 500 Acres Design Fellowship gives 18–24 year olds hands-on experience reimagining housing and community design—drawing inspiration from Stanford’s d.school and Japanese architecture firm VUILD
