Get Involved in Your Neighborhood

Chances are your experience living off-campus will translate into many positive memories of your overall college career. One way to make the most of this time is to get involved in your neighborhood and the greater Bellingham community. There are countless opportunities to do this, such as participating in your neighborhood association, joining a Block Watch, or volunteering with a community service organization.

Below is a list of contact information for each active neighborhood association in Bellingham. Visit the Association of Bellingham Neighborhoods site to view updated information at www.aobn.org You can also click on the links to the left for Block Watch details and local volunteer resources.
