Mission & Vision
Our Mission
Empowering youth to reach their full potential.
Our Vision
Growing neighborhood leaders.
Our Values
Youth Centered
We believe that the youth of our community are not just the leaders of the future, but the leaders of today. We invest in our youth by creating job opportunities, providing relevant leadership training, and amplifying their voices as co-creators in our mission. We envision youth leading our community and New City Neighbors.
Radical Hospitality
We take a radically inclusive posture that welcomes everyone in our neighborhood to the table, embracing all aspects of diversity. We resist and dismantle systems of oppression that exist in our community. We engage our neighbors in the work of social and economic equity for all.
Holistic Ministry
We take a Christ-centered, faith-based approach in addressing the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual parts that make up an individual and our community. We challenge the systemic, cultural issues that affect the ability to thrive. We work toward wholeness in every regard.
Our Strategy is Good Food
Through urban farming we’re creating employment and empowering opportunities for youth, providing healthy food for our neighbors, and preparing a table where all are welcome to gather and form relationships with a nourishing meal.
Our Commitment
New City Neighbors does not discriminate in hiring, compensation, promotion, termination, retirement, training, programs, or services based on race, ethnicity, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, height, weight, gender identity, marital status, sexual orientation, or political affiliation.
