The Being Neighborly VISION for cities across the nation is that we become an “it takes a village” type place where neighbors actively support each other in a way that fosters the highest level of livability for our city and sustainability for our planet.
Background
Our core VALUES are integrity, empowerment, community, kindness, helpfulness, generosity and inclusiveness.
Platform and Activities
Our groups can be compared to neighbors talking over the fence or sharing moments together on the front porch swing.
Sharing Ideas
Ideas come from the people and using their own resources, the people turn those ideas into reality.
