Hey, we’re doing this!
Imagine a connected Montpelier, where every household in the community can be reached within minutes in times of emergency. Picture also a small and informal organization in your neighborhood that helps to fight isolation and improve our ability to look after one another.
Montpelier Neighbor Net
is a new collective of small neighborhood-based groups organized to:
Build Community & Strengthen Social Connections
Improve Communications
Grow Emergency Preparedness & Response
Montpelier Neighbor Net hopes to blanket the entire city with Local Neighbor Net organizations made up of small, cohesive neighborhoods of about 15-50 households.
This is where you come in.
Local Coordinators are community volunteers who serve as the organizers for their Local Neighbor Net. They work as a team with a neighbor or two to define their neighborhood, build an internal contact list of their neighbors, and serve as the Neighbor Net messenger(s).

Who is organizing this effort?
At its core, Montpelier Neighbor Net is an independent collective of Local Neighbor Nets.
The unifying organization, however, is guided and supported by an executive committee of Local Coordinators and community volunteers who work to bring MNN closer to the vision of universal neighbor-to-neighbor connection in Montpelier.
This community-forward organization is staffed and funded by Foundation for a Resilient Montpelier.
