Forming a Neighborhood Organization

The Neighborhood Enrichment Services Division will help you organize your neighborhood for free. Forming a neighborhood-based organization is all about bringing people together to work for the betterment of everyone. Neighborhood-based organizations succeed when residents are eager and willing to make their own decisions about programs and projects. That is why residents are the ones who should take the lead in organizing themselves. However, the Neighborhood Enrichment Services Division can offer advice and support. For more information, call or email the Neighborhood Enrichment Services Division at 919-996-4330 RNR@raleighnc.gov.
