The Neighborhood Network
Learn. Organize. Lead Change in Your Community.
Do you care about your neighborhood? Want to learn how to make a difference where you live?
Join The Neighborhood Network, an 8-week hands-on program that brings neighbors together to learn about organizing, building strong communities, and taking real action to solve local issues.
You'll meet weekly with a small group, learn how the city works, and work together to decide how to spend $20,000 to improve your area. Yes, really, you help decide where the money goes.
And the best part? Participants get paid $500 for completing the program!
