www.reno.gov/

    • Mission

    We want you to LOVE YOUR BLOCK! In partnership with AmeriCorps and Bloomberg Center for Public Innovation John Hopkin’s University, the City of Reno introduces; Love Your Block! From turning vacant lots into community gardens to helping elderly neighbors with home repairs so they can avoid fines and safely age in place, volunteers "love their blocks" and make their neighborhoods and cities better places to live. Together, we are creating a community that people are proud to call home. Volunteer to Love Your Block, today! AmeriCorps is the federal agency connecting individuals and organizations through service and volunteering to tackle the nation’s most pressing challenges.

    About Us

    AmeriCorps is the federal agency for national service and volunteerism. Learn more at AmeriCorps.gov.

    The City of Reno is a thriving urban center known for our world-class colleges, vibrant culture, diverse outdoor activities, and innovative industries.

    And is creating a community that people are proud to call home.

    Love Your Block is a grant program that funds resident-led neighborhood revitalization projects in U.S. cities. From transforming vacant lots into community gardens to repairing playground equipment to removing trash and debris from a public right of way, the program supports cities as it enables residents to design, develop, and deliver programs and policies that improve communities.

    Established and supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, Love Your Block builds on the successful legacy of Cities of Service, which has helped hundreds of mayors and municipalities engage residents as a leading voice in public problem-solving since its launch by New York City mayor Michael R. Bloomberg in 2009.
