Stanley Tookie Williams
Neighborhood House is the distributor for a number of youth gang prevention products developed by Stanley Tookie Williams. Former gangster turned anti-violence activist, Williams spent his years on death row reaching out to young people, educating them about the pitfalls of gang life - work that earned him two Nobel Prize nominations, one for peace and one for literature.
Welcome to Neighborhood House
Neighborhood House of North Richmond is a private, non-profit, multi-service agency with a community-based tradition of 54 years of addressing neighborhood needs and supporting residents in their efforts to uplift their lives.
Founded in 1954 by the American Friends Services Committee, a Quaker group, Neighborhood House has become a multi-service, social advocacy agency. Originally perceived as an African American voice for low-income families, our agency transformed itself into a refuge for Southeast Asians and Mexican immigrants during the urban migration of 1975. It has since evolved into a multi-faceted, multicultural hub for families of many ethnicities and races.

of life
