Neighbors Project can help you take on a project in your neighborhood ...
Our city advisory boards exist to find and help anyone -- you? -- who wants to take on a project in their neighborhood that will bring diverse neighbors together. It doesn't have to be a hokey sing-a-long where everyone holds hands and drinks hot cocoa; in fact, please don't ask us to do that. Check out our Neighbors Checklist for ideas you probably already like, and wouldn't mind seeing more of in your neighborhood.
The volunteer boards find, or are contacted by, people from our generation who have good project ideas and provide them with everything they need to succeed. This includes, but isn't limited to:
- Volunteer recruitment
- Strategy
- Connections to local and citywide organizational partners
- Technical expertise, from engineering to public policy
- Media and public relations
- Outreach
- The full backing of Neighbors Project as an organization
- Support and encouragement for when you're not feeling so motivated and would rather stare out the window
- Some financial help
It's your project; we just help you make it happen.
If you have a project idea, e-mail our Chicago or San Francisco Bay Area operations with a summary of your idea. Please note that we are only able to take on projects in Chicago and the San Francisco Bay Area at this time.
... Or just be a great way to volunteer in your neighborhood.
