Impact 704 Academy: November 10 and December 15
Sustain Charlotte is thrilled to announce the brand new
704 Impact Academy, a three-part in-person series focused on empowering attendees with the knowledge they need to be advocates for equitable, healthy, and sustainable growth.
The Impact 704 Academy is free, thanks to support from Southminster, and will be held at Charlotte's Camp North End, a revitalized, mixed-use campus north of uptown. Each session will include presentations from experts representing local government, educational institutions, nonprofits, and the private sector.
The first session introduced attendees to smart growth — strategies that include rehabilitating existing developments, designing communities to be more walkable and accessible to necessary goods and services, diversifying housing, and protecting our environment and can be watched online.
The next two sessions will be held Nov. 10 and Dec. 15 from 6 to 8 p.m. Attendees can earn certificates by attending all three in-person sessions and completing a Take Action! mini-project within two months of the last session, such as speaking at a City Council meeting or conducting a neighborhood walkability audit.
Light refreshments from food vendors at Camp North End will be complimentary for attendees.
