The
Neighborhood Academy was established by the Neighborhood
Development Center (NDC) due to the growing demand
by San José residents seeking knowledge
on how to improve their neighborhoods. The Academy
features three units (4 sessions each) in English
and in Spanish. These sessions are designed to
supply residents with information essential to
better access City services, become neighborhood
leaders, and provide resources in the areas of
neighborhood development and safety.
Additionally, the NDC also offers Leadership Development
and Neighborhood Organizing Trainings. These trainings
include various topics such as organizing communities,
creating newsletters, using various computer programs,
grant writing, fundraising, and other trainings as requested.
The Leadership Development Trainings are a concerted effort
to meet the personal and professional needs of City staff
and Community Leaders.
