Project Sidewalk is an opportunity to gain valuable advocacy and civic skills
Project Sidewalk offers an exciting opportunity for educators to involve their students in meaningful civic engagement and skill development. By incorporating our user-friendly platform into your curriculum, students can not only earn volunteer hours but also develop valuable advocacy skills. Our curriculum consists of six modules specifically designed for educators, providing a comprehensive guide to teach students how to effectively use the Project Sidewalk website and conduct sidewalk audits in their communities. Through this experience, students not only contribute to making sidewalks more accessible in their communities but also gain practical skills that extend beyond the classroom.

How the Girl Scouts got involved Oradell, NJ
A partnership of four organizations— a local Girl Scout group, the local Multiple Sclerosis Society, and a local hospital and medical school—joined forces to conduct a sidewalk audit in their community. Our team worked with the Girl Scout Troop leaders to instruct their scouts on using the Project Sidewalk platform. The Girl Scouts gained valuable skills in advocacy and knowledge of disability rights and accessibility and contributed to the improvement of accessibility in their community.
