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.
