Community Development

A community needs advocates who come together and work for its betterment. We are dedicated to partnering with local groups to improve east Greensboro every day. It isn’t all business, either. We help promote events that bring harmony amongst community members, as well as help beautify neighborhoods throughout the area.

 

  • We provide technical support to east Greensboro neighborhood associations in a variety of ways.

  • We provide opportunities for students from the local colleges and universities to engage in hands-on, “real world” impact in the local community.

  • A year-round program for kids aged 6 and 17 years of age. Participants not only learn the rules and strategies of chess, they also acquire and develop critical thinking skills and discipline.

    This program is conducted at Hayes-Taylor YMCA in East Greensboro.
