Celebrate International Youth Week with us! Design a Jane’s Walk for youth (age 13-30) in King Township & we’ll help you bring it to life!

Youth Walk Leaders must be between the ages of 13-30 to submit. Youth Walk Leaders will receive training in advance of the Walk, as well as on-site support during the Jane’s Walk Festival.

Reimbursement can be provided for travel as requested; each team of Leaders can also receive up to $50.00 for materials to support their Walk. All Youth Walks will be supervised by an adult trained in youth engagement with a valid Vulnerable Sector Check.

What is a Jane's Walk?

Jane’s Walks can be led by anyone who wants to share with others what they believe makes their neighborhood, or King Township, a special place to live.

Your walk and conversation can be approximately one to two hours in length and can be about music, art, nature, architecture, diversity, heritage, history, planning issues… any thread in the fabric of life in our great community. 

As a Walk Leader, we help citizens get to know their communities by gathering people outside of their homes, offices, and cars to exchange knowledge, tell stories, & share experiences.

We will accept walks until the end of April, but it is ideal to have two weeks lead time for us, and you, to get the word out about your walk. We will advertise your walk on our Instagram @JanesWalk.King and create an event for each walk on our Facebook page as well as our website.

The King Township Chapter is part of a larger global movement inspired by the late urbanist and activist Jane Jacobs. You can learn more about our work by reading our FAQs.

Contact us at janeswalk.king@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.

Ready to walk? Fill in and submit the form before April 17th.

Thanks, and happy walking!
