WHAT IT IS
Neighboring is a verb. It is a core practice with 3 expressions that are central to building the kind of partnerships capable of revitalizing our neighborhoods.
Individual
Neighboring on the individual level involves aligning our beliefs and values through self-discovery and greater self-awareness practices.
+
Small Groups
Neighboring in small groups involves interpersonal skills and team building practices that leverage social capital.
+
Systems
Neighboring at the systems level involves building networks and partnerships that create thriving neighborhoods.

Neighboring
Neighboring is greater than the sum of its parts. From values, to team work, to establishing systems, the end result are stories of transformation as individuals and neighborhoods become stronger and more resilient.
Summit Agenda
Neighboring is action. Join us to champion the development of cross sector talent pipelines in high priority occupations that help meet workforce demands and prepare youth and young adults (ages 14-25) to break intergenerational cycles of poverty.
