Learn more about Every Neighborhood Partnership’s growing vision and important things taking place in our city at our Fall in Love with Fresno event on September 22.
Over the last 14 years, Every Neighborhood Partnership (ENP) has been on a growth trajectory. Yes, our staff and programs are growing, but so is our vision.
ENP began as an organization focused on helping churches connect relationally with schools in central Fresno. Over time, with God’s guidance and the support of incredible partners, we have expanded our vision to equipping and mobilizing residents to be leaders who have the tools they need to make sustainable, long-lasting change in their neighborhoods.
Communities are being changed from the inside out.
Through literacy mentoring at elementary schools, Saturday Sports camps, Latin Dance Fitness classes, women’s support groups, workshops and coaching for other nonprofit leaders, and neighborhood associations, our vision is growing… and it involves YOU too.
Join us on September 22nd to learn more and celebrate the GROWING taking place in our city at ENP’s annual Fall in Love with Fresno event! You won’t want to miss this.
At our annual Fall in Love with Fresno Event, people from all over Fresno come together to raise funds and support the work of ENP throughout our city. Building on last year’s theme of “Deepening,” we are celebrating the GROWING taking place in everything from the expansion of school support programming to the literal growth of community gardens.
Join us for a fun and uplifting evening held at Arte Américas on September 22, 2022. The evening will include:
- Dinner– Mexican food made by community members
- Dessert- Ampersand ice cream
- Silent Auction
- Inspiring Stories & Updates
- Special Interactive Activities
A few areas of GROWTH we are celebrating at this year’s Fall in Love with Fresno event:
- ENP has partnered with 5 new community-based organizations and supported them through capacity-building training!
- “These organizations are more equipped to build relationships with residents, organize groups around certain issues, mobilize them for community building, and address felt needs by helping residents to seek policy change in neighborhoods.” ~ Germán Quiñonez Neighborhood Development Director
- New Staff Members!
- “I saw ENP creating different pockets of community in different neighborhoods, providing resources. Being hired on staff, I get to see what is going on internally. They’re creating community, building connections, and deepening relationships.” ~ Laqusha Locke, Literacy Mentor Coordinator
- Literacy Mentoring and Saturday Sports has GROWN to become one, unified program- School Support.
- “This means ENP has been able to hire more than double the number of college interns. In turn… ENP is able to support TWICE the number of elementary schools this year!” ~ Jenessa Cheema, School Support Director
- Latin Dance Fitness, a program under Neighborhood Health and Wellness, is expanding!
- Latin Dance Fitness is launching at another site. Excitement for Latin Dance Fitness classes is GROWING so much that community members are asking for more classes to be made available in the afternoons. To make this happen, ENP is working to recruit and train 15 additional instructors! Funds are also needed to buy speakers, provide stipends for instructors, and cover other expenses associated with new classes.
To hear more encouraging stories and updates, meet great people and eat delicious food, join us at our Fall in Love with Fresno event on September 22!
