Block 101 Training

Want to form a neighborhood group but don’t know how? Your Community Mobilization Specialist is able to work with you to set up a Block 101 Training, which is a Safe Streets facilitated training meant to teach neighbors how they can successfully organize to create positive community change.

During your Block 101 Training, your mobilizer will work with attendees to build your neighborhood group identity including:

• Group Name
• Boundaries
• Mission
• Ground Rules
• Group Roles

Attendees will also brainstorm what they love about their neighborhood, what challenges or opportunities for improvements exist, and begin constructing an action plan to outline meaningful steps for moving forward.

If you are interested in meeting your neighbors, forming a groundwork for communication, and potentially creating a neighborhood group, then contact Safe Streets to schedule a Block 101 Training!
