Volunteer

Based on the same energy that our founders had in creating our organization, we decided to call our volunteers Civic Advocates because those who volunteer with us must be dedicated to long term change. While those who engage in our events and our work may tune in once in a while, our Nashville-based volunteers maintain regular monthly communication with us. Whether in a formal volunteer role or as someone we depend on to get out into the community, you can be a part of a movement to ensure Nashville is rooted in good civic design.
