The first generation of The Neighborhood Network is already hard at work learning, connecting, and shaping real change in their communities!

This 8-week hands-on program brings neighbors together to learn about community organizing, building strong neighborhood associations, and taking meaningful action to solve local issues.

Over the past weeks, participants have explored how the city works, identified local priorities, and are now developing real projects to invest $20,000 into improving their neighborhoods.

Stay tuned, soon we’ll share the results of this first cohort and the community project they’ll be bringing to life!
