A recent graduate of Neighborhood University Fadil A. Lee had this to say about his experience:
“I will miss Neighborhood University. It was a deliberate 2 months of intentional engagement with City and County representatives. I appreciate the intentionality that CONO demonstrated in consistently delivering a quality session for approximately eight weeks. I look forward to partnering with future initiatives with CONO and Neighborhood Networks and being an agent of change.”
The goal of Neighborhood University is to educate, empower, and equip residents to serve as effective community leaders. Anyone who wants to be an agent of positive change is encouraged to learn more and enroll at: www.cscono.org/neighborhood-u
