Neighborhood Services

Neighborhood Enhancement Teams

Neighbor leaders and volunteers undertake tasks to clean and beautify, organize events and block parties, and to meet to discuss challenging issues. A few are leaders who mobilize and coordinate the efforts of all, tackling jobs in the neighborhood that will ultimately inspire others to act and result in more pride, a new energy and renewed enthusiasm in the neighborhood.	The NET involves residents, businesses, neighborhood associations, schools, faith-based organizations, civic/non-profit groups, government and others who come together to improve the safety and quality of life in Tulsa's neighborhoods.

Critical needs in a neighborhood vary, so the City has created three levels of participation in the NET program.
