Block Clubs
Block Clubs are one of the pillars of safe and healthy communities. That is why we’re doing all we can to support leaders starting new block clubs and block club presidents that need help reinvigorating their block.
We are showing up for our neighbors, beautifying spaces, and working to create greater respect for community.
At My Block, My Hood, My City, we believe that Community Safety begins with community building, resource sharing, and taking care of people no matter what.
