The Hopeful Neighborhood Project includes neighbors of all creeds and no creeds, who want to pursue the common good right where they live. 

​

A “hopeful neighborhood” is a neighborhood where people work together to pursue neighborhood well-being as the highest form of the common good. A hopeful neighborhood is where: 

​

• Possibilities are the focus 

• Everyone’s gifts are shared 

• Neighbors value their neighborhood’s uniqueness 

• Neighbors long for their neighborhood’s well-being 

• Neighbors collaboratively imagine possibilities 

• Neighbors create and work a plan together 

​

At the Hopeful Neighborhood Project we long to see more and more hopeful neighborhoods. We’ve developed a three-step process to help everyday neighbors pursue the common good, right where they live.

​

• A three-step online process for founders and their neighborhood groups

• Practical tools like the EveryGift Inventory, Neighborhood Gift Map, and Neighborhood Well-being Survey

• A national network of groups excited to share their ideas and hear yours

• A team of trained Neighborhood Project Coaches excited to provide encouragement, ideas, and counsel along the way
