Neighborhood Networks

Neighborhood Connections supports the growth of relationships across lines of difference through the framework of neighbor nights in a number of communities. These free monthly gatherings are a way for neighbors to share good information, build trust, and take meaningful action on issues that matter to them. Don’t see your community listed? Attend a neighbor night, and then set up a 1:1 to learn more about what it takes to get started.
