Volunteering in Cabbagetown
Lots of upcoming stuff including exciting events, park improvements and bike/ped safety initiatives! Volunteering is a great opportunity to meet neighbors, and make a positive impact at home. Non-residents welcome too!
Got your own ideas? Let’s talk about starting a new project, or forming a subcommittee to identify resources.
You can usually find your project on this general volunteer form. If we haven’t created time slots yet, please sign up and tell us your preferences. Someone will send you an email! THANKS!

Safety is our number one priority! Our of an abundance of caution, we’ve rescheduled the live painting and street festival. Did you miss the sign up previously? Now’s your chance, buddy. JOIN US.
Service to others is a rewarding path for those seeking enlightenment, but we also accept cash: DONATIONS
WE’RE FLEXIBLE! Any effort is helpful. We appreciate our neighborhood volunteers, and respect your valuable time. There are so many fun events to participate as a neighbor, you’ll forget why you didn’t sign up before. Busy, and you’re only free for an hour? Totally cool. All day? Let’s do it! The sign-up form has a convenient comment box for your preferred schedule. This isn’t carved in stone. Mostly, this page is all about collecting names and email addresses so we can put y’all in touch with the Project Manager. :)

How We Work (The CNIA & The CI)
The Cabbagetown Neighborhood Improvement Association (CNIA) serves as the democratic, neighbor involvement organization in Cabbagetown. CNIA officers are elected by the neighbors, and CNIA holds monthly public meetings to vote on issues that are relevant to the community. CNIA serves as the neighbors’ voice and connection to the City of Atlanta, and connects Cabbagetown residents with other neighborhoods. Any resident or business owner in Cabbagetown may become a voting member by submitting a free annual membership form.
CNIA publishes the Cabbagetown Neighbor, our local newspaper, and works with the City on zoning, traffic, and livability improvements. CNIA uses some funds to assist in hosting parties for the neighbors like the semiannual Roll Call, welcoming new neighbors, and the annual Holiday Crawl. CNIA sponsors the Chicken Noodle Network (neighbor-in-need), the Tour of Homes & Gardens, and Stacks Squares Mural Project.
The Cabbagetown Initiative Community Development Corporation (CI) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that Cabbagetown residents started in 2002 to raise funds to build Cabbagetown Park. The park was established as a public-private partnership. As such, CI currently serves as Cabbagetown’s arm for managing parks and public spaces in Cabbagetown.
Through CNIA, Cabbagetown residents review and vote on CI’s annual budget and elect five of its eleven directors, including the CNIA president who serves ex officio on the board. The CI board elects the remaining six directors. CI also holds monthly public meetings. Although only CI’s board of directors may vote, all neighbors are welcome to attend and participate in discussions.
CI runs the annual Chomp and Stomp Chili Cook-off and Bluegrass Festival to raise funds for its operations. CI spends these funds maintaining Cabbagetown Park, Esther Peachy Lefevre Park, the Wylie Street murals (“Forward, Warrior!!” Mural Project), multiple pocket parks, the Cabbagetown Community Garden and the Cabbagetown Community Center. CI also manages a benevolence fund designated to support long-term residents with emergency home repairs.
