2017 Annual Report

What A Year! 2017 Reflection. 2018 Vision.

On behalf of our ENP board and staff, we’re proud to present our 2017 Annual Report.

As we approach our 10th year, we find ourselves reflecting back to our humble beginnings. We are encouraged by the growth of ENP, but even more encouraged by all we have learned since ENP began in 2008.

We have learned:

  • how to better train our volunteers to serve in the classrooms
  • how to better make Saturday Sports a community event, not just a school event
  • how to better engage with our neighborhood families through Asset Based Community Development
  • how to better serve our churches
  • that our universities and colleges are vital partners to serving our schools
  • that collaborating with over 20 other community-based organizations in the community builds our capacity as well as theirs
  • by including the residents and youth who live in our neighborhoods, we create the greatest opportunity to solve community challenges

Looking Towards 2018

As we enter this new year, we look forward to equipping, mobilizing and assisting our community to serve their own neighborhoods, schools, students, and families. We know we’ll be better in December than we are now. Why, because we know we’ll get to continue to work with amazing people in an amazing community.

We truly thank you for your continued friendship and support. If you haven’t yet supported the transformative work of ENP we would love to have you join us! Donate here.

May 2018 be a great one for all of us!!!
