Stronger Together by Working Together

The Jackson Association of Neighborhood’s mission is to help strengthen Jackson neighborhoods by working together with government agencies, neighborhood groups, community organizations and other stakeholders to help neighborhoods become more effective at solving problems and improving their communities. To accomplish that mission, our main objective is to identify leaders in every neighborhood in the city. If a neighborhood doesn’t have a current organized group or identified leader, JAN is ready to support local residents to get connected and activated to move forward together.
