Other Ways to Get Involved
There are numerous ways for individuals and groups to serve alongside NBN outside of our ongoing volunteer programs. Below are some of the most popular ways people in the community enjoy helping strengthen neighborhoods
Group Service Projects
Neighborhood groups, faith communities, and companies can partner with us to host a one-day service project such as a community clean-up, garden build, mural painting, or park beautification.
Community Collections
Organize a supply drive to support Resident-Led Initiatives or neighborhood events. Popular collection items include:
​
-
Non-perishable food for community gatherings
-
Bottled water and snacks for youth and family programs
-
Cleaning supplies for neighborhood associations
-
School supplies for youth leadership programs
Event Support
Help us make our community gatherings a success. Volunteers can staff registration tables, hand out resources, greet neighbors, or support logistics at events like our annual Community Breakfast, Racial Equity Trainings, or neighborhood celebrations.
Food & Refreshments
Local restaurants, caterers, and community groups can sponsor meals or donate refreshments for events, training sessions, or neighborhood meetings. Simple snacks and drinks go a long way in creating a welcoming environment.
Garden & Beautification Volunteers
Work with us on community gardening and beautification projects. Whether planting flowers, maintaining community spaces, or providing seasonal landscaping support, your hands-on help makes neighborhoods shine
Fundraising & Awareness Events
Join us at community fundraisers and awareness campaigns. Volunteers help with set-up, outreach, and sharing NBN’s mission with the community.
