This season’s Neighborhood Institute has begun, and the energy is palpable! Passionate community members, huddled around tables, brainstorming the next big ideas to transform our neighborhoods. It’s like a think tank meets a block party—minus the grill, but with all the sizzle!

Participants from 12 Districts are diving into sessions that cover everything from community organizing to effective leadership strategies. One attendee quipped, “I came for the knowledge, but I’m staying for the people—and maybe the dinner!”

Who knows? The next great neighborhood initiative might just be brewing at one of these tables!
