SITIO’s Andrew Ferrarelli and Brooke Kervi were named Community Design Collaborative (CDC) Volunteer All-Stars in recognition of their outstanding work on the La Liga Del Barrio Building Project. Over the past year, Andrew and Brooke have partnered closely with this vital community organization to understand its spacial needs, design vision, and long-term goals, helping to envision a new, permanent home for Philadelphia’s first Latino youth basketball league.
La Liga Del Barrio provides sports programming for Latino youth and other underserved communities throughout the city, creating opportunities to develop athletic skills, build community, and promote educational achievement. Through countless hours of design work, community engagement, and team meetings, Andrew and Brooke have played a key role in advancing this meaningful project.

Working with individuals who bring that level of passion and purpose to the table made the entire experience exceptional.” - Andrew
