Dow Jones Description
In 1996, The Annie E. Casey Foundation challenged the Points of Light Foundation to expand our understanding of volunteering and explore the role it plays in transforming "tough" neighborhoods into connected and family supportive places. The Points of Light Foundation utilized this opportunity to listen, learn, and share our discoveries. The neighboring model is an empowerment and assessment-based approach to volunteer engagement in under-resourced communities. Together, we invite you to be our partner in bringing neighboring to America's under-resourced communities to create family-supportive neighborhoods. By dedicating financial and human resources to support and foster local efforts, you too can be a partner to strengthen families and transform neighborhoods.
