Launching Lindsay Heights Block Captain Initiative

Walnut Way is leading a neighborhood-wide initiative to recruit and support a Lindsay Heights Block Captain network. The first Block Captain Meeting will take place at Walnut Way on Saturday, July 28th with brunch from 10:00am to 11:30am with Executive Director, Antonio Butts. Lindsay Heights residents are invited to attend the first gathering and talk about the opportunities they have as block captains.

As Block Captains, residents of Lindsay Heights will:

Receive access to free training from Walnut Way on how to effectively organize their block.
Learn how to host block parties and other initiatives that engage neighbors.
Weigh in on issues of the day by providing feedback and participating in focus groups.
Help with voter registration & education to empower the community.

Those interested in becoming a block captain and attending the first meeting can text the words block captain to 31996. A questionnaire to register will then be text to your phone. To skip text messaging and go straight to the sign up form, please click here Block Captain Sign up form.
