“A lot of people really care about the neighborhood,” says Denise Anderson, one of the founders of Fairhill Neighbors. “But they are burned from being the only people cleaning up their block, or getting involved. We’re trying to raise up the next generation of neighborhood leaders.”

Fairhill Neighbors formed a couple of years ago, when four different grassroots groups got together to do a survey of community needs and assets. That has grown into a neighborhood-led coalition of old and new residents, who now meet monthly to share information, and organize monthly events, like cleanups or a backpack giveaway at the local Julia de Burgos elementary school.
