Volunteer and Employment for Youth and Adults
Stay Connected with Your NCN Account
The best way to stay connected to our work is to create your own NCN account. Once you have an account you can sign up for events, volunteer projects, manage your contact information, email subscriptions, see your donation history and more! If you have previously received emails from New City Neighbors, purchased a share, or donated to NCN you will likely already have an account. Create or reset your password here. If this is your first time visiting then create a new account here or by selecting “Login” on our menu. After you have an account be sure to login when registering or donating so your information stays accurate. If you have any questions or technical issues our Director of Administration, Sierra West, is happy to help.
