NeighborWorks Events and Volunteer Opportunities

Calling all volunteers!

It’s that time of the year again! Time for our annual NeighborWorks activities! Homeownership Month is celebrated every June, which means we’ll be strengthening the communities we live in and serve.

We’ll be hosting NeighborWorks Events across the entire Chicagoland area.

These volunteer events allow residents to build camaraderie with neighbors, beautify shared spaces, and learn more about our important work.
