Neighborhood Partnership Teams are a driving force to help us achieve that mission and bring lasting transformation to our neighborhoods. People of all ages benefit from our work with the NPTs, although there’s a special emphasis on the youth of the neighborhoods, who represent future generations. Find out more about Neighborhood Partnership teams below.
The idea behind NPTs is simple. Every sector of town has individuals and organizations who want to plan and deploy meaningful projects to address the needs of their neighborhood(s). NPTs provide a regular forum for community partners to pool their ideas, their resources, and their volunteer hours to implement successful strategies. People helping people with a common sense of geography.
NPTs inspire and support a broad range of community-led programs and initiatives. They focus on strengthening youth and families, but deploy a ‘whole-neighborhood’ approach. Many of the programs and activities are designed to support family engagement with school, youth development, healthier lifestyles, and cross-cultural relationships. NPTs provide and support:
- After-school programs, parenting classes, seasonal events, community gardens.

- Block parties, community dinners, health fairs, music concerts, summer feeding programs.
- Supports for foster kids and foster families; family strengthening programs.
- Adult and child literacy, English classes, GED and education-advancement opportunities.
- Outreach to our unsheltered neighbors for housing, employment, recovery, transportation, mental health.
