El Súper Barrio Latino
The sizable immigrant and growing refugee community in Northfield has been largely invisible for many years and suffers issues that are specific to them. Neighbors United works to bring visibility and empowerment to this community.

Our Work Together
The Necessary Conversations program continues
We bring workshops on different topics and participants get small grants as part of the necessary conversations.
With other groups, NorthSTAR, Stand Up Northfield and others we created the Northfield Antirracist Action Coalition, NAAC
The Antiracist Coalition, NAAC, continues to explore ways to make our community a welcoming one for everybody.
