Fishtown Neighbors Association is an all-volunteer organization. We host dozens of community events, activities, and public meetings in our neighborhood each year, and this all runs off of the hard work of fellow neighbors donating their free time and spare dollars for the betterment of our community.
We always need more volunteers to get involved on our committees, help out at our events, or take on special projects behind the scenes to keep building FNA's capacity as an organization to provide community-building programs and activities for the whole neighborhood.
