NeON Stakeholder Groups

The NeON Stakeholder Groups (NSGs) provides essential guidance, leadership, and support to the Neighborhood Opportunity Network (NeON). Their primary goal is to enhance community safety and promote successful outcomes for individuals on probation. These groups consist of diverse members, including local business owners, community and faith-based organizations, residents, probation staff, people on probation, and other community leaders from the seven NeON neighborhoods.

Role and Impact of NeON Stakeholder Groups:

• Program Development: NSGs play a vital role in shaping NeON programming. For instance, they select artists and arts organizations to receive NeON Arts grants, ensuring that programs reflect the community's needs and interests.
  
  
• Community Initiatives: Stakeholders help design community events, lead neighborhood outreach efforts, and serve as ambassadors, representing NeON’s mission in their communities.
  
  
• Engagement and Advocacy: Stakeholders act as the voice of the community, fostering trust and strengthening ties between NeON and residents.
