Neighboring Movement Project Coordination VISTA
 
 
 
In 2015, co-founder, Adam filed for non-profit status as SoCe Life to create good neighbors in south central (SoCe) in Wichita, KS. In November of 2015 received a significant grant from the Knight Foundation via the Wichita Community Foundation allowing the organization to legitimize their work. Next year, Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) became a passion and began to really shape everyday to establish the Neighboring Movement in SoCe life. In 2017, SoCe Life officially moved to Neighboring Movement.org to solidify the mission of launching a national neighboring movement with exponential life and began creating content to help the world learn to neighbor. Neighboring Movement.org by SoCe Life researches, practices and teaches about neighboring. The organization is seeking out neighboring initiatives around the country to study the best practices of good neighboring in the South Central (SoCe) neighborhood of Wichita, KS. The Neighborhood Movement packages organizational knowledge and share with individuals, communities, and organizations who want to be better neighbors.
