Looking for a New Project Lead: Idle Free Ballard

Help us reduce needless vehicle idling to protect air quality and the climate.

Do you care about clean air, climate action, and community education? We’re looking for a passionate and organized volunteer to lead Idle Free Ballard, a grassroots project inspired by the documentary Idle Threat.

Idle Free Ballard raises awareness about the environmental and health impacts of unnecessary vehicle idling. Our volunteers engage neighbors in a friendly, educational way—handing out “Idle Free” business cards and starting conversations in places like:

🚗 Grocery store parking lots
🏞️ Local parks
⛴️ The Ballard Bridge lineup
…and other spots where idling is common.

As Project Lead, you’ll:
✅ Recruit and coordinate volunteers
✅ Help plan outreach events
✅ Explore new ways to share the Idle Free message
✅ Make a local impact on air quality and climate

You don’t need to be an expert—just someone who’s motivated to make a difference and enjoys community engagement.

🌎 Got ideas for outreach? Want to help build a cleaner, healthier Ballard?
We’d love to hear from you!
