Thank you Orca K-8 Penny Harvest for choosing SNG as your Grant Recipient!
We recently were awarded Orca K-8 School's Penny Harvest grant! Penny Harvest is a service-learning youth philanthropy program where youth between the ages of 4 and 18 convert their natural passion for others into action by collecting pennies and turning them into grants for community organizations. They studied community needs and organizations and chose to donate to us! Thanks Orca K-8!

Southeast Seattle
Seattle Neighborhood Groups supports many projects in Southeast Seattle neighborhoods. We also work with many different community groups to help connect those living and working in the area to each other, and to increase safety in the neighborhoods by connecting people to their local community police.
Current SNG Projects in this neighborhood:
SNG sponsors and staffs the South Rainier Valley Safety Partnership once a month, a monthly crime prevention community meeting. SNG also staffs TGIF, social and music event every third Friday at Rainier Beach Community Center from 6-9pm. SNG and our partner agencies in the Southeast Seattle neighborhoods sponsor community resource fairs, celebrations, clean-ups, youth events, and crime prevention training and outreach to neighbors and businesses throughout the area. If you would like to know about current public safety and community building events in this area, please join our email list for South Seattle!
Seattle Neighborhood Group is working with partner agencies in Southeast, Southwest and Central Seattle to support the Mayor's new anti-violence initiative focused on youth. The Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative gathers the resources of three neighborhoods to achieve two goals: a fifty percent reduction in juvenile violent crime referrals in the three neighborhoods, and a fifty percent reduction in suspensions/expulsions due to violent incidents in five selected middle schools. SYVPI director Mariko Lockhart coordinates the effort with participation from local communities, non-profits, and schools.

SNG Resources
SNG brings many resources aside from our staff expertise in organizing groups and events:
- Our Community Education Team works in immigrant, low-income, and senior communities to educate on personal safety, using 9-1-1, identity theft, and fraud.
- CPTED site surveys for changing the physical safety of an area.
- Take Action Workshops for working with nuisance properties in your neighborhood.
- Landlord Workshops to help area landlords develop and maintain crime free property in our neighborhoods
- SNG funds and maintains two drop-in sites in the Central Area for law enforcement so they can complete paperwork without having to travel out of their assigned sector. This helps keep more officers in the neighborhoods where they are needed most.
- SNG provides meeting space for blockwatch and neighborhood safety groups in the Central Area.
