Walnut Way Conservation Corporation

(Walnut Way) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit neighborhood organization founded by residents in 2000. Its offices are located at 2240 N 17th Street in a carefully renovated, formally infamous drug house. Understanding the importance of valuing place, residents restored this 1910 house, slated for demolition into an active Center where youth, families, elders, homeowners and renters participate in community development.

Mission: "Our mission is to sustain economically diverse and abundant communities through civic engagement, environmental stewardship, and creating venues for prosperity."
