Just Neighbors
Just Neighbors helps you understand what it feels like to be poor in the midst of plenty.
It is a dynamic interactive curriculum that allows you to walk in the shoes of the poor, experience their frustration, and learn how to help.
It is an inspiring experience.
The Just Neighbors Program
The Just Neighbors multimedia curriculum was created to raise awareness of the root causes of poverty and homelessness as the first step in establishing community-based responses. The Just Neighbors program includes nine interactive multi-media sessions. It is designed as a series but has a flexible structure that you can adapt to meet your congregation's needs and interests.
Flexible Format to Meet Your Needs
Each session is designed so that a group can complete it in one hour. Depending on your purposes, your group may decide to complete the entire program or any number of individual sessions-even only one.
Eight Ways to Use Just Neighbors - and More
1.
Use Just Neighbors as a series, running each session in succession.
2.
Have an education class adopt Just Neighbors as its curriculum for weekly meetings over the course of two months, or use one session each month for nine months.
3.
Use a Just Neighbors session before or after worship to tie in with a sermon or a liturgical season, such as Passover, Lent, or Advent.
4.
Offer sessions of particular interest leading up to a service activity. For example, if you will be working on a Habitat for Humanity house or staffing a homeless shelter, use the session "Housing Matters" to make participants more attuned to the needs of those they are serving.
5.
Select one session as a springboard for more in-depth study and action. For example, if your congregation is beginning an initiative for interracial dialogue, the "Prejudice, Privilege, and Poverty" session is a logical starting point.
6.
Adapt Just Neighbors for your youth program, either with the youth group, or young people preparing for their confirmation or bar or bat mitzvah.
7.
Team up with another congregation in the area and participate in Just Neighbors together.
8.
Organize a Just Neighbors retreat and complete all nine sessions over the course of a weekend.
And more—we're sure that you will come up with other ways to use Just Neighbors to benefit your congregation. When you do, please let us know about them so that we can pass them on to others.
