Just in case we’ve all forgot how to play in the neighborhood, a new non-profit organization is helping to teach people how to be better neighbors. The Neighbors Project mission is to inspire, support, and connect people in their 20s and 30s who want to take on both large and small projects that will help to improve their neighborhoods.
