A Neighborhood Assembly can help us:
Create a common voice to:
- Generate a shared vision we can implement
- Be heard as a community
- Coordinate the many initiatives community members are working on
- Be clear about what we want and act on it together
- Create the future our community wants by working toward a common goal, together
Improve the quality of life in our community:
- Listen to our youth to build a community for them
- Make sure that any development in our community serves the common goals of our community
- Mobilize local and other resources to create the streets, parks, businesses, schools, community space and other things we want
Build our capacity as a community to:
- Work together effectively
- Include all voices while making practical decisions efficiently and effectively
- Improve our meeting and communication skills
- Mobilize the resources already in the community
Create a way to sustain quality community over time:
- Create a short and long range plan for making our vision for a community happen
- Build community networks to coordinate activities
- Support the social aspects of community by holding community events and parties
- Continually update of our community vision
- Support sustainable development
Start building community now as we work on our vision and how to make it happen:
- Get to know each other by working together from the start
- Find out what we are all doing and how to support each other
- Bring youth, older folks, everyone together so we hear what everyone wants
- Host community wide parties and neighborhood parties
- Have fun!
