ABOUT THIS SECTION

This Action Kit is your blueprint of workable and worthy ideas, downloadable items, and how-to steps.

While national organizations can use every tool on this Web site, we designed the Neighboring site to be of special assistance to smaller, local organizations or affiliates of national organizations. Whatever your size or scope, we hope you will use both the print version and the Web version of our Neighboring Action Kit to find the resources you need to strengthen families and connect communities everywhere.


Build a Movement

"The road we travel in life is made much easier when we walk together."

- Geralyn Dunckleman, Houma, Louisiana
2003 Family Volunteer Award Winner

For many families living in tough communities, the gaps to critical connections are widening. That’s why volunteering and neighboring have never been more important than they are today.

Organizations and individuals working in tough communities need to see community members not just as recipients of services but as change agents and equal partners. Promoting real community self-reliance needs to be a clear objective of any initiative to enrich opportunities for residents to succeed.


A Call to Action

We invite you to join us in empowering families and transforming even the toughest neighborhoods to healthy and supportive places to live. Be a catalyst for sustainable social change!

National organizations have a special role to play in achieving this goal. By using your organization’s resources and influencing your affiliates, you have the extraordinary ability to amplify the good you can do at the local level to improve conditions for families across the country.

Team up with other organizations, businesses, communities, and local volunteers to turn the tide for children and families facing incredible obstacles.

Join the movement!
