We inspire a new generation of neighbors.

Neighbors Project is a growing movement of a generation of people living in cities who want to connect with their diverse neighbors to improve the neighborhood for everyone.

The movement was started in fall 2006 by a group of friends who were concerned about both the increasing polarization of our country due to expanding suburban sprawl and the polarization in our city neighborhoods due to increasing gentrification.

We looked around at our friends in our 20s and 30s and realized that many of us are actually ready, willing and able to help bridge those divides, but we needed a push. So we formed Neighbors Project to help people do what they already seem to want to do: Enjoy our neighborhoods while simultaneously making them -- and the country -- better for everyone.

Our mission is to inspire and train members of the new urban generation to connect with their neighbors through projects that improve the neighborhood for everyone.
