Hey, kids! Meet your neighbors

Posted on August 11, 2010 by Staff

The Town of Chapel Hill and the university to which it plays host are encouraging students living off campus to participate in the annual Good Neighbor Initiative.
Now in its seventh year, the year-round Good Neighbor Initiative encourages students who live off campus to meet their neighbors and work with them to build community and keep neighborhoods clean and safe.

This year’s initiative will begin on Aug. 23, when community volunteers, students and Chapel Hill police officers walk door to door in many of the neighborhoods surrounding downtown Chapel Hill on Monday. The group will start at 4:30 p.m. from the Hargraves Center and move out into the Northside, Pine Knolls and Cameron-McCauley neighborhoods. Visits to homes of students and year-round residents will include a welcome message and information about community services, local ordinances and alcohol laws and good-neighbor practices.

A Good Neighbor Block Party and Neighborhood Night Out event at the Hargraves Center is scheduled for Sept. 23. The initiative is sponsored by the Town of Chapel Hill, the Chapel Hill Police Department, Empowerment Inc., the Downtown Partnership, several downtown businesses and UNC’s Dean of Students Office and Office of University Relations.
