Good Neighbor Week

 

Good neighbors make great neighborhoods!

September 22 through September 28, 2024

CELEBRATING OUR 5th YEAR

Each year NeighborWorks Green Bay sends a team of eight residents to the Community Leadership Institute: a weekend of leadership training with NeighborWorks America. The team participates in leadership classes and is tasked with coming up with a project to improve their community. The 2019 CLI team created Good Neighbor Week. The week is all about encouraging people to be good to each other, lending a helping hand if possible. Good Neighbor Week 2020 was a very successful beginning of the community-wide event.

Good Neighbor Week 2024 will take place September 22nd through the 28th. NeighborWorks Green Bay, Green Bay Neighborhoods, the City of Green Bay, as well as many community partners plan to take on several projects helping neighbors in need in our community with minor home repairs, landscaping or yard maintenance.  Take a look at last year’s remarkable week captured on video:
