National Congress of Neighborhood Women is a support group for grassroots women's organizations and community leaders involved in providing voices for poor and working-class women. ==History==
In 1969 Jan Peterson moved to New York City and joined the Conselyea Street Block Association, which consisted of many local women from the Williamsburg and Greenpoint neighborhoods of Brooklyn. Peter also volunteered at the Congress of Racial Equality in Harlem and also participated in anti-poverty and feminist organizations. Her activism and experiences living in Brooklyn inspired her to explore opportunities to create a multi-ethnic, inter-racial community organization to help better the poor and working-class neighborhood she lived in. In 1973 Peterson met other grassroots activists and professional women at an event sponsored by the National Center for Urban Ethnic Affairs. This group, along with Peterson, created a national conference of working-class women, which was hosted in Washington, D.C. in 1974. One year later, at their second conference, the "first national federation of blue collar, neighborhood women" formed. Located in Brooklyn, the group made sought to give a voice to poor and working-class women, encouraging them to become community leaders. NCNW's first program was a community-based higher education project, which started in 1975. The organization worked with Empire State College〔 and community colleges and helped design courses for adult women, active within their communities, seeking to become better leaders through knowledge and improved skills. The program, which worked with NCNW's first employment program, Project Open Doors, which provided participating women apprenticeship experience with community organizations in New York City.〔
