Our Resource Development Committee is a fun way to engage the community in NeighborWorks Green Bay’s mission to solve housing challenges and build stronger communities.  No fundraising experience is necessary, but a willingness to engage in sharing gratitude with our partners is!  The Resource Development committee helps staff thank donors for their generosity and strategize for future funding opportunities. 

Good Neighbor Week event planning committee is looking for community members that wish to give back by helping to plan and execute a week of minor home repairs, landscaping, and yard maintenance for Green Bay homeowners who may have barriers to completing these types of projects on their own, due to limited income, disability, age, or a family situation. GNW is a collaboration between the city of Green Bay, Green Bay Neighborhoods, and NeighborWorks Green Bay. We meet virtually once every 3 weeks on a Monday from 4:00-5:00pm, February through September, culminating with Good Neighbor Week, the last week in September. Work outside of the meeting time is asked, 1-2 hours a month, depending on the planning stage.   

We are seeking members to join our planning committee or a subcommittee that focuses on:

-developing the application process and determining the projects that will be completed 

-developing sponsorships to fund the projects since the repairs are free to the homeowners

-coordinating individuals and groups of volunteers since all of the work is done by volunteers in the community

-assessing projects for estimates of materials, volunteer time, and equipment

-promoting the event through social media, local media (TV, newspaper, radio), neighborhood and community activities

Not able to attend the meetings but want to help?  Assistance can be given for things involving:

-a computer like preparing spreadsheets, documents, or surveys, etc.

-making phone calls to follow up on sponsorship letters, coordinating volunteers, communicating with homeowners and volunteers, etc.

-preparing for the week with material purchases, event organization, lunch coordination, and assembling project folders 

-promoting the event through social media, local media (TV, newspaper, radio), neighborhood and community activities!

Our Events and Engagement Committee oversees our events including our Annual Celebration, NeighborWorks Week, open houses, and other organizational events.   You would provide logistics, connect us with community leaders, and explore new event opportunities to help bring awareness around our various lines of service.  You would work to foster engagement with the community by sharing NeighborWorks Green Bay's mission of solving housing challenges and building stronger communities and serve as ambassadors by developing relationships with those of similar passions for our mission and service lines.   If you like to develop plans and processes that will help make organizing events easier, help coordinate volunteers, find ways to recognize and celebrate volunteers, supporters, donors, and staff, and make connections with skilled professionals in our community that will help us enhance our mission, we invite you to join us.
