Take the lead in organizing a group focused on community engagement. Whether you're interested in supporting a local event, raising awareness for a cause, or organizing a park cleanup, you and your team can partner with GBU for help in supporting the organizations and causes you care about.

"Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping" - Fred Rogers

Being a Neighborhood Leader is perfect for someone who enjoys working with others and planning & organizing activities that support and benefit their local community. Once approved as a Neighborhood leader, you can assemble a team, plan a project and gain access to resources to support it. Leaders will receive a stipend for completing objectives associated with the position.

How the program works:

Step 1: Decide on a project.

Connect as a group (minimum of three GBU members must participate) and decide how you want to support a cause or organization within the next 60 days. Ideas include a sponsorship, service project or community partnership.
