Neighbors Helping Neighbors is a community-sharing network in North Braddock and Braddock, PA. We uncover our community’s hidden skills and resources and help our residents share those assets with their neighbors. Past projects include a snow-shoveling day; sharing circles in Recycle Park and in a senior housing complex; training teenagers to door-knock in the neighborhood, asking residents about their needs and offers; and neighborhood block parties.
This summer, combining two successful past projects, we will collaborate with the Braddock Summer Youth Project to train four local youth to organize community block parties on their own blocks. These gatherings will give residents a space to come together as a community and talk about their needs, skills, and resources, and to share their vision for the neighborhood.
