We’re Hiring: National Area Director

Neighborhood bridges is growing—and we’re looking for the right person to help us take our mission to communities across the country.

We’re seeking a part-time, remote National Area Director to lead our exciting new partnership with the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) and help expand the neighborhood bridges model nationwide.

This is an opportunity to be part of something bigger: connecting schools, communities, and caring people to help remove the basic-needs barriers that can stand in the way of a student’s ability to learn and succeed.

💜 Basic Needs Are Mental Health Needs, Too.

For students, not having the things they need can be about more than comfort. It can affect confidence, belonging, relationships, and how they feel walking into the classroom each day.

Meeting basic needs can help remove the stress and isolation that can stand between a student and their ability to thrive.

Meeting basic needs helps create a school experience where students can focus less on what they’re missing and more on learning, connecting, and being part of their community.

We’ve launched an exciting partnership with the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) and The Sandlin Foundation for Kids & Kindness. Take a moment to watch the news coverage featuring David Bannister and Mo Canady.



The three organizations are bringing relationships, resources, and technology together to help schools identify students’ unmet needs—and to connect those needs with people in the community who are ready to help.



This partnership gives us the opportunity to bring that support to more communities and, ultimately, to more students with the help of the SROs already in our schools.

💜 Happy World Teachers’ Day!

Today, we’re celebrating the teachers who show up every single day for their students—often doing far more than anyone sees.

At neighborhood bridges, supporting the people who support our students is incredibly important to us. We’re grateful for the teachers who give so much of themselves to help students learn, grow, and believe in what’s possible.

Thank you for showing up. Thank you for caring. Thank you for making a difference. 💜

We all need a little more kindness!

You don’t have to change the whole world today.

You can hold a door.

Pay for someone’s coffee.

Donate a clothes.

Share a post.

Check on a friend.

Help someone feel included.

Give when you can.

Show up when someone needs you.

Small acts matter.

Because when enough people choose kindness, those small acts become something BIG.
