Healthy, connected communities that support active living for all people
The WALC Institute is an educational, non-profit organization working to create healthy, connected communities that support active living and that advance opportunities for all people through walkable streets, livable cities and better built environments.
The Institute inspires, teaches, connects and supports communities in their efforts to improve health and well-being through better built environments.
- We inspire by helping communities envision a better future, by sharing examples and success stories and by displaying a personal commitment to the movement.
- We teach the benefits of walkability and livability, best practices in designing for active transportation and strategies for successful civic engagement and implementation.
- We connect community members and leaders to important resources, engage them in the process, and help them communicate with each other.
- We support with ongoing guidance, educational materials and by celebrating successes widely.
Imagine what we can do together.
