Love Your Block is an initiative of NYC Service in partnership with Citizens Committee for New York City that provides a unique opportunity for neighborhood groups to transform and improve their communities through local action while leveraging City services.
Resident-led volunteer groups receive a grant of up to $1,000 and City services provided by the Department of Parks and Recreation, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Sanitation of New York, and the Department of Environmental Protection to help improve their block. In addition to the grant and City services, groups receive project planning and community building assistance as well as support with local media coverage for the project.
The application will be available starting September 21st!
Join us for one of two info-sessions in Lower Manhattan on October 16th and October 23rd, from 6:00pm to 7:30pm to:
- Learn more about improving your community with a Love Your Block grant
- Meet past grantees and learn about their projects and impact
- Meet other community members who are interested in improving their neighborhoods
