How We Helped
Challenge
Code Works partnered with the Northeast Neighborhood Residents Organization and the Northeast Neighborhood Council to create a shared website that could unite two neighboring community organizations under one digital roof, reflect the character and diversity of the neighborhood across every income level, race, and generation, and give residents a single trusted place to find local resources, all while remaining simple enough for anyone to maintain and update on their own.
Result
A welcoming, accessible community hub that introduces both organizations and their missions, houses a curated directory of neighborhood resources, preserves the area's history for future generations, and keeps residents connected through an ongoing blog and mailing list: built on a user-friendly platform so the NNRO and NENC can confidently manage their own content and keep the neighborhood engaged long after launch.
Who We Helped
About
The Northeast Neighborhood Residents Organization and the Northeast Neighborhood Council are two community organizations rooted in South Bend's Northeast Neighborhood. Both began with neighbors who believed the area's future was worth investing in. What started as residents looking out for one another grew into a lasting partnership dedicated to preserving the neighborhood's history and strengthening its future.
Code Works turned what seemed like an overwhelming project into a fluid experience. I provided the photos, copy, and some inspiration, and their team handled the rest. When I struggled with the technical side, they never made me feel like it was a 'me' problem — they were easy-going and encouraging throughout.
