This entails seeking to understand different perspectives and aspirations; bringing people together to find opportunities to engage neighbors; formulating a comprehensive plan with all stakeholders that tackles common goals; and then implementing and taking collective action on this plan. By taking these steps, sustainable and systematic change in the neighborhood can be achieved. To join this effort, make sure to attend a Neighborhood Network Monthly Meeting. |
