Neighbors Council

Relaunched in February 2021, the High Line Neighbors Council is a group of committed stakeholders who live, work, and study in Chelsea or on the West Side of Manhattan. The council is an intergenerational group that includes local residents and business owners, High Line Teens staff and alumni, and representatives from community-based partner organizations.

The Neighbors Council provides an opportunity for the High Line to develop and maintain connections with community members, discuss ideas that inform areas of focus, and collaborate on community-based initiatives.

Neighbors Council members are provided with stipends to support their participation in monthly meetings and have special access to programming at the High Line and in the surrounding community.

Neighbor to Neighbor Fund
The Neighbor to Neighbor Fund is a participatory grantmaking initiative launched in 2021 that is driven by the High Line Neighbors Council. Each year, the Neighbors Council works to identify critical community issues that the High Line can support through the fund.

The most recent High Line Neighbor to Neighbor Fund grant recipients are PS11 Aid Foundation, Quest to Learn, and UnLocal.
