- 6. #1 SAY HELLO! INTRODUCE YOURSELF. THE FIRST STEP TO BUILDING A COMMUNITY IS TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE AROUND YOU. PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THOSE THEY KNOW - SO ASK THAT NEW NEIGHBOR THEIR NAME! ONE CHAT COULD LEAD TO A YEARS- LONG FRIENDSHIP.
- 7. #2 ORGANIZE A NEIGHBORHOOD GATHERING. THIS CAN BE AS SMALL AS AN INFORMAL POTLUCK OR MOVIE NIGHT IN SOMEONE’S BACKYARD, OR AS LARGE AS A BLOCK PARTY! THE KEY IS TO MEET AND BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE AROUND YOU. AFTER ALL, WHO DOESN’T LIKE FOOD?
- 8. #3 BUILD NEIGHBORHOOD TEAMS. TEAM SPORTS OR GROUP PHILANTHROPY BOOSTS MORALE AND SHIFTS THOSE AROUND YOU FROM NEIGHBORS TO FRIENDS. SET A WEEKLY PICKUP BASKETBALL TIME, OR PLAN A GROUP TRIP TO HELP OUT AT THE LOCAL SOUP KITCHEN!
- 9. #4 OFFER A HELPING HAND. AT THE END OF THE DAY, A COMMUNITY- CENTERED NEIGHBORHOOD IS A SUPPORT SYSTEM. IF YOU KNOW THAT THE PERSON ACROSS THE STREET NEEDS SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN HELP OUT WITH - WHETHER THAT NEED BE FOOD, BABYSITTING, OR JUST A KIND WORD - REACH OUT! DAYS, MONTHS, OR EVEN YEARS DOWN THE LINE, YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD MAY BE A VITAL SOURCE OF SUPPORT WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST.
