Sunnyside/Greenview Neighbors for Action

About our association

Welcome!

Welcome to Sunnyside/Greenview Neighbors for Action (SGNA). We are a Chicago neighborhood association formed in 1999.

We are just getting the web page started, so stayed tune for more.

SGNA Mission, Vision, and Value Statement

Our mission is to be a strong, healthy neighborhood where people want to live.

Our vision is to be known as a friendly and inviting neighborhood with a mix of people who care about their homes and neighbors. In addition we will become known as a neighborhood that does not tolerate crime and comes together as a community to address issues and concerns in a positive and effective manner.

We value:

· Community - we will socialize with each other at a yearly block party and through other social opportunities.

· Mutual Respect - we will encourage everyone to participate and share freely with the understanding that all persons are to be respected.

· Leadership - we will seek leadership that is visionary and grounded in our mission, vision, and values. Leadership responsibilities will rotate with the regular election of volunteers.

· Teamwork - we will set up volunteer teams to facilitate the work that the organization does.

· Safety - we will address safety concerns through CAPS meetings, local government, neighborhood watch, phone trees, having street numbers posted on the backs of buildings, court advocacy, petitions, flyers, graffiti removal, and joint action with other community groups.

· Service - we will serve the larger community through food drives and other volunteer efforts.

· Beauty - we will promote beautification of the neighborhood through activities such as trash pick-up, promoting the upkeep of properties, and planting of flowers.

· Non-Partisanship - we will not endorse any candidate for public office and equal time will be given to all parties running for election.

· Democratic Decision Making - all major decisions will be voted upon.
