OUR MISSION.
Neighbors with a Purpose is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity that bridges the gap between youth, families, community leaders and mentors within shared neighborhoods. We do this through needs-based collaborative projects, programs, and services that are tailored to the neighborhoods we serve.
​
We understand that beyond the home life, a neighborhood has the most impact on the physical, emotional, financial, behavioral, and social health of its members and future leaders.
​
Our mission is to empower young people to uncover a deeper sense of safety, significance, purpose, and joy within their lives through skill-building, knowledge, and connections with positive role models.
​
Simultaneously, we ignite a sense of giving back within community leaders & mentors. We encourage them to contribute their time, ideas, expertise, wisdom and resources, thus forging a more resilient and healthy community for all.
