Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation
 
 
 
Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC) is a comprehensive planning and development organization committed to improving the quality of life in Youngstown, Ohio by building and encouraging investment in neighborhoods of choice for all. YNDC is seeking a member who will increase our capacity to bring individuals out of poverty by eliminating barriers to economic opportunity that exist in our neighborhoods. This will be accomplished by: 1) scaling up our work to clean up and improve vacant property and 2) equipping residents, organizations and institutions with the tools to harness their own power through direct actions to affect neighborhood progress. Members will work alongside a talented and highly motivated team of organizing staff and neighborhood leaders and will help to organize people and resources to accomplish these tasks. Repurposing vacant property will create a physical environment that encourages economic opportunity and neighborhood reinvestment. Equipping neighborhood residents, groups, and institutions with the tools and skills necessary to harness their own collective power will help to eliminate social and structural barriers to opportunity while ensuring that reinvestment benefits residents.
