Workshops

The JRC works with local partners to present workshops that provide practical information on home and neighborhood improvement. These include:

• Short, classroom-style workshops
• Workshops that engage attendees in specific neighborhood projects
• Neighborhood walking tours and assessments

Check the JRC Events listing to find out about upcoming workshops.

If you have ideas for workshops, would like to partner with JRC on a workshop, or would like to arrange a walking tour of your neighborhood to assess strengths and weaknesses, please contact Peter Lombardi at 716-338-9889.

Forums

Periodic neighborhood forums are presented by the JRC and its partners to inform the public about new and ongoing initiatives and to give residents an opportunity to ask questions and describe their own efforts and ideas.

Forums in 2011 were hosted by Persell Middle School on March 30th and Jefferson Middle School on April 27th. Future forums will be listed here and on other JRC media as they are scheduled.

If you have ideas for neighborhood forums—including specific topics that deserve greater attention and a sustained public dialogue—contact Peter Lombardi at 716-338-9889.
