What is
NeighborWorks Week?
Since its inception in 1983, NeighborWorks Week is an annual week of service that showcases how, together with residents, the NeighborWorks network strengthens communities. Held during the first full week in June, NeighborWorks Week also celebrates our collective impact as a network. It’s a time not only to give back in our communities but also to acknowledge the thousands of volunteers, business partners, national and civic leaders who stand with us to help deliver on our critical mission.
Help build strong communities, together.
Youth Prevention Workshop, Elderly Service Day, Healthy Cooking Demo, Financial Education Workshops, and family friendly fun —are scheduled for our communities during NeighborWorks Week 2023!
Join us as a participant, volunteer, and/or supporter to build strong communities, together.
