BreakTime Bakery is a bakery that is run by kids during the summer. Instead of just sitting around and playing video games all summer the middle school students bake a variety of goods including cookies, cheese cakes, breads, bars, scones, and fudge. The kids sell their products and in the process learn responsibility, new skills, and of course new recipes!www.newcityneighbors.org

Inviting Neighborhood Participation

Inviting Neighborhood Participation from CFA Videos on Vimeo.


This video illustrates a 5 question door-to-door survey that you can ask neighbors to invite participation in community development. Going door-to-door and talking with neighbors about their neighborhoods helps people connect with one another, and also helps to define a neighborhood community vision from the residents themselves.

Sacred Suds started out simply as a betterment agency where people could wash their clothes and take showers. But as they started talking to more of their neighbors they realized the neighborhood had greater needs than just cleanliness. The first step Sacred took towards development was an ESL class.
