Sustain Charlotte is a nonprofit working toward a community with more sidewalks, bike lanes, transit, parks, greenways, trees, and diverse neighborhoods with housing for all. We spearhead initiatives in transportation, accessibility, and sustainability. We strive to promote and defend the integrity of Charlotte’s communities and provide a voice for societal issues and help solve the diverse transportation, housing, and land-use challenges the Charlotte region faces today. When you sign up as a volunteer, you will receive emails from our community engagement coordinator about upcoming volunteer opportunities.
