A simple act of kindness can truly go a long way, especially when building neighbor-to-neighbor connections with those nearby. In a recent Nextdoor user survey, 73% of respondents reported that their neighbors are the most important community, with 61% feeling it’s more important to build connections in their neighborhood versus outside of their community.

Join us as we dive into a kindness.org research study petitioned by Nextdoor and Verizon that uncovers the power, impact and importance of the local level relationships and the simple acts that strengthen these bonds.

We’ll discuss which kind acts are most effective and matter most in building a close-knit community and how this network bolsters a community during volatile times. These insights will be illustrated in a case study of The Big Neighborhood MeetUp, Verizon’s recent initiative to encourage and enable neighborhood connection.
