What is the difference between a neighborhood association, neighborhood watch and a block club?
Neighborhood associations are independent, neighborhood-based organizations with their own structure and officers and often represent hundreds of households. Neighborhood watches are organized by the Community Caring Conference with the specific purpose of preventing crime. Block clubs, networked as part of a larger system under the Community Caring Conference’s structure, are small groups of neighbors who socialize and work together on localized issues.
