Volunteer for NeighborWorks Day Projects

Looking to break a sweat and put in a rewarding day of work?

This June, Neighborhood Housing Services of Chicago and State Farm are teaming up for several NeighborWorks Day events designed to showcase how residents working together can strengthen communities.

What is NeighborWorks Day?

Since its inception in 1983, NeighborWorks Day is an annual day of service that showcases how, together with residents, the NeighborWorks network strengthens communities. The fun-filled day also celebrates our collective impact. It’s a time not only to give back in our communities but also to acknowledge the thousands of volunteers, business partners, national and civic leaders who stand with us to help deliver on our critical mission.
