About Us

Welcome to THEDCPLACE.COM

A unique website.
On a simple mission.
With a powerful vision.

ENJOY, VOLUNTEER, GO GREEN!

MISSION
The mission of TheDCPLACE.com is to create and post exclusive studio interviews
and high-end video webspots, links, reviews, announcements,
 and news about the many ways that you can
Enjoy, Volunteer, and Go Green in the local D.C. Community.

VISION
At its core, The DCPLACE.com was created
with a very clear social values-based vision:
Renew, Rebuild and Support the Local Community.

And so, along with short video webspots
about local commerce, business and culture,
 the site will also present video webspots
that will walk you through the doors
and into a welcoming place to volunteer;
or show you ways in which you can become a better steward
of your local home, neighborhood and community environment,
and the much larger environment that we call the planet.
The site will also show some of the best ways
 that you can make energy sustainability
and renewable energy a larger part of your life.

ABOUT
EMMY award-winning producer and director, Todd Clark (ONANONProductions.com) created TheDCPLACE.com site because he has seen the positive, productive power that can occur when communities discover new ways to interact and enjoy their diversity,
support their local businesses, and uplift their culture, arts and talents.
Combining his educational and early work in renewable energy and appropriate technology with his long record and passion for creating award-winning public affairs and international programming; a deep presence in the arts community of D.C. as a producer, MC/Host, Actor, and Teacher along with extensive community service as a city arts grant review panelist and recipient, Todd saw the value in creating TheDCPLACE.com as a way to serve the community.

“I have seen how valuable it is when people seek to create and strengthen innovative social, community and business connections.  I wanted to have this one site where I could present short, high quality, co-host guided, video webspots, that show how easy, fun and meaningful it is to volunteer;  go inside a truly enjoyable place to hear local and international music; walk into a locally-owned store where you might find the perfect gift or see the latest fashions;  discover something unique for your home ,school or office.                                                                                                                                          -Todd Clark

“TheDCPlace.com is the most concise, informative and authentic tool available for visitors to DC.   It's like getting a bird's eye-view of DC, from DC.”

"Like Food & Friends, TheDCPLACE.com is dedicated to promoting volunteerism to make one's community a better place.  We so appreciate their stalwart support of our program of life-sustaining nutrition."

                                         Communications Director, Food & Friends

“What’s great about DCPLACE is that they really focus on the organizational- but also the community aspect- like helping the community grow- helping individuals in the community thrive.”                                             
                                        -JR Russ

“I really believe TheDCPLACE is offering that buffet- BYOB: bring whatever you have, and see what’s out there and connect and the opportunities to volunteer or get involved will manifest themselves.”                                         
                                        -Aysha Upchurh

“DCPLACE and City Living magazine have very similar agendas in the community:  #1- being green, #2- basically supporting local business which supports the local economy. I think DCPLACE is unique because you can go on their site and really see great places to go, great places to volunteer and really get to almost touch and feel it, just from your computer.”
                                                               
                                        -Dawn Debus
                                         Publisher, City Living Magazine

“We appreciate a platform like the DCPLACE to showcase us and what we are trying to offer to the community on a web-base, international- everyone has access to this. The idea is to highlight the folks who are doing it right and have something to offer.”        
                                             -Alexei & Kowboy Kom
                                              Fly Gypsy

“What TheDCPLACE is trying to do is important. DC is very small but at the same time it is very stratified…so if you have a website that is showing different parts of DC to people who might not necessarily leave their communities and find those places, I think that’s amazing.”
