Volunteering With the Nonprofit

Photographers, writers and walk leaders kept the programs running.

From the archive. This page keeps material published on this domain by Smart Coast, a Fairhope, Alabama nonprofit, in the years around 2004–2013. It is preserved as a record; the magazine that publishes smartcoast.org today is independent and is not that nonprofit. Contact details and personal information have been removed, and pictures that no longer exist have been replaced with credited photographs.

The nonprofit relied on volunteers: people who took pictures, wrote articles, made phone calls and, above all, walked children to school on the first Friday of the month. Its volunteer page described a shared passion for livable communities for all ages and for businesses run on sustainable principles.

The nonprofit's old phone number and e-mail address are no longer in use and have been removed. To help children walk to school where you live, start with the magazine's guide How to Start a Walking School Bus; read more in Volunteer Highlights.
