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.
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!
