Allies

Be a part of the solution!

Each community member chooses a minimum of three allies, volunteers recruited from the community, who assist with networking and developing skills such as financial literacy, education and training, and career or vocational development as well as the ability to build positive community connections and stronger social networks.

NeighborKeepers provides structured training and support. Those interested in volunteering are encouraged to attend a Community Leadership Meeting (see below). Attendance is about learning more; it is not a commitment to become involved.

Volunteers who wish to become allies are asked to make at least a one-year commitment.
