What to Expect

• To commit to a one-year, renewable segment adoption with monthly volunteer day.
• A training and orientation session.
• Different segments of the BeltLine will require different volunteer support. Some segments may only necessitate litter clean-up, while others may need to be cleared of brush or invasive plants, weeded, or monitored for maintenance concerns.
• That you’ll improve the morale of your peers by working side-by-side on a project that’s transforming Atlanta!

Adoption Group Types

There are two categories of adoption groups with slightly different requirements:

• Local groups are the eyes and ears for the adopted segment and will generally conduct monthly (or more frequent) site visits and smaller clean-ups. Minimum requirement: 3 hours per month.
• Corporate groups will generally organize larger quarterly projects, visiting the segment less frequently than the local group but meeting a higher number of volunteer hours. During the initial adoption conversation, corporate groups will discuss donating to support the Adopt-the-BeltLine program with the Volunteer Manager. Minimum requirement: 15 hours per quarter.
