About us

DIY Lowell was founded in 2015 by two community members after extensive discussions with leaders across the city. We are a grassroots group dedicated to helping community members make small-scale projects and events happen together. We connect people with ideas to funding, technical assistance, and most importantly to one another. We strive to be a: * An incubator and testing ground for community improvement ideas * A bridge between people of diverse backgrounds and identities who might not otherwise work together * A civic skill-building workshop for youth and adults who want to bring change to their community Why do we call ourselves “Do-it-Yourself Lowell?” It’s because we love “Do-it-Yourself Urbanism.” DIY Urbanism is a philosophy of rolling up your sleeves and Doing-it-Yourself by tackling an achievable project that will snowball into bigger changes. DIY Urbanism goes beyond complaining on social media or at community meetings! We empower Lowellians of all types to practice DIY Urbanism together.
