The Neighboring Movement
We believe an asset-based approach to neighboring can create lasting change in the world, reduce social issues, and increase the quality of life for individuals and communities.
We achieve our “big idea” by living out relationship, abundance, and joy in our founding neighborhood and sharing what we’ve learned in simple, doable, and universal ways with individuals, churches, and civic organizations.
