Neighborhood Connect - A Program That Teaches You Simple Ways To Improve Your Neighborhood

Description

Neighborhood Connect prepares people to participate in improvements that build healthy, thriving neighborhoods. Through Zoom sessions, an opportunity to explore their neighborhood, and support from program staff, participants will decide what they care about in their community, make a plan for neighborhood change, and put it into action.

Overview

Neighborhood Connect is being conducted in eight areas of Worcester. From January 1- March 2026 we are enrolling people who live, work, or spend time in the Main South / Piedmont Street area and the Quinsigamond Village / Whipple Apartments / Route 20 area. The study is offered in English and Spanish. There will be 6 Zoom sessions and three 20-minute surveys.

What we're hoping for

The purpose of the research project is to determine if the Neighborhood Connect program is effective preparing people to participate in neighborhood improvements that build healthy, thriving neighborhoods
