Neighborhood Enhancement Teams
The Neighborhood Enhancement Team brings a re-energized,
grassroots approach to strengthening neighborhoods, fostering
leaders and building pride in the community.
|
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.
