WHO
WE ARE
Here's a little bit about just who we are at ONE Feltonville... We were "Born On" August 19, 2014 From Feltonvile United Neighbors & 25th Police District/Feltonvile "Town Watch ... Since then, we've 'evolved'!
Now also involved and leading efforts in Olney. Olney Neighbors Empowered is the Community Engagement vehicle in that community. (August 2017) Beginning Spring 2018, 2 NEW INITIATIVES aimed at Youth Community Organizing and Development began: ONE Youth for youth from BOTH Feltonville and Olney, and ONE Youth Ambassadors for youth specifically from Olney Elementary and olney High School. Community Service, Service Learning and Educational Enrichment Programs for youth in the local community and other places of interest of the city.
ONE Feltonville CCDC - Olney Neighbors Empowered share A "Vision" for the community that includes brisk, commercial and residential development; and a healthy, safe and vibrant community, "Main Street" & "Town Square" concepts. (Think Manyunk, East Passyunk), [without the 'gentrification' & division]. A view toward UNITY in the Community! A "Faith-Based" Community Organizing Collaborative of Churches, Residents & Business Community together. A "Christian" Community Development Corporation. "Christian" in our "Ethics" and a Global World View in our practices. (Member: ccda.org) We Practice and Promote #ABCD = Asset Based Community Development, looking at the "Gifts" of the comunity, rather than its 'needs' or deficits. abcdinstitute.org ccda.org Model: http://www.occcda.org (A Program of Oxford Circle Mennonite Church).

Begining in August 2017, with the Olney Comunity Organizing Objective #OlneyNeighborsEmpowered these efforts include requesting the 9th City Council District and the Commerce Dept. to "Study" the extension of the Rising Sun Avenue Corridor from Rsvlt Blvd, to Olney Avenue. This will be happening in Late Spring/early Sumer 2018.
