Forming an Organization
The Neighborhood Enrichment Services Division can help you organize your neighborhood and establish bylaws for free. Forming a neighborhood-based organization is focused on bringing people together to work for the betterment of all in your community. Neighborhood-based organizations succeed when residents are eager and willing to make their own decisions about programs and projects.
Benefits of forming an organization include:
- Creating a way for neighbors to get to know and support each other
- Empower residents to make changes and reach goals
- Form a unified voice and influence in community affairs
- Foster better communication with local government and other agencies.
- Support responsibility for keeping the neighborhood healthy and vital.
