What is a Neighbourhood House?
A neighbourhood house is a community-based organization that provides a welcoming space for local residents to gather, learn, and connect. It offers a variety of programs and services, such as educational workshops, recreational activities, social support, and cultural events, tailored to the needs of the community. Neighbourhood houses often focus on inclusivity, fostering a sense of belonging and community engagement, and are typically open to people of all ages and backgrounds. They serve as hubs for social interaction, skill development, and community building.
The need for a neighbourhood house in New Westminster has been identified by several community organizations and residents throughout the City. As New Westminster continues to grow and welcome unprecedented numbers of community members, including many families, we know that the city would benefit from a neighbourhood house model to support the gaps in current programs and services.
If you are interested in joining us please see the “About Us” page. We are looking for Board Circle Members, but also other volunteers to support our development.
