The Neighborhod Network

Learn. Organize. Lead Change in Your Community.

The Neighborhood Network is an 8-week leadership program where East Tulsa residents learn by doing. Throughout the program, participants will identify a neighborhood need, develop a real community improvement project, and receive funding to bring their ideas to life. Whether it's beautification, placemaking, public safety, or another neighborhood priority, you'll gain leadership skills, build connections, and create a lasting impact in your community.
