We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new website, DNDA.org! We’ve been working hard over the past year to create a more user-friendly and informative online experience, and we’re excited to finally share it with you!

The new site features a fresh design, improved navigation, and a wealth of new resources to help you find the information you need. You can now easily explore each of our departments: Art, Nature, Neighborhood, and Youngstown, and find ways to get involved, volunteer, or support our mission. 

 

This project was a true labor of love, brought to life by a talented, all-female team. We want to give a special shout-out to Stephanie Ortiz, the Creative Director at CAST Design. Stephanie, an accomplished veteran of visual art, designed the site from scratch. Her expertise and ability to genuinely connect with our vision were instrumental in creating a beautiful and functional site that truly reflects who we are.

We also want to give a huge thank you to Talmia Ebenezer, a freelancer and the Digital Marketing Manager at Kiterocket. Talmia’s expertise in digital strategy, SEO, and content was crucial. She ensured that the content was strategically written and optimized so our community can easily find us online. Her work will help us amplify our visibility and connect with more people who are passionate about what we do.
