Our Story
Celebrating its tenth year of creating meaningful opportunities for civic engagement in Sharpsburg, Sharpsburg Neighborhood Organization (SNO) is looking for the right leader and relationship builder to shepherd the organization into its next phase of sustainable growth, collaborative action, and equity-focused impact on community wellbeing.
Fueled by a group of dedicated neighbors in the small Allegheny River town of Sharpsburg Borough, SNO works to connect local residents, nonprofit organizations, and small business owners with the people, capacity, educational opportunities, funding, and other resources to implement the resident-driven local priorities identified in the Sharpsburg Community Vision Plan and Sharpsburg Ecodistrict Plan.
As our organization has expanded in size, scope and impact, we are seeking an Executive Director who aspires to support and work alongside existing community members to ensure that investment in the community is spent in service of those people and ecological systems whose needs have been historically deprioritized in economic development strategies.
Some of our organizational values include:
-
Maximizing the community power of residents and other community stakeholders, like the natural environment and local business owners, who have traditionally been harmed by development and policy decisions that do not prioritize positive and equitable community impact
-
Continuous learning, storytelling, and expanding the shared local knowledge base on the technical and systemic issues that affect Sharpsburg and its human, built, and environmental circumstances, as well as the history of the community and the decisions that have shaped our current challenges, to ensure that the community can respond effectively to threats and opportunities
-
Actively fostering and adding human and technical capacity to a resilient and flexible community-wide ecosystem of mutual support, healthy collaboration, transparent and proactive communication, and human-to-human relationship building across sectors, socioeconomic backgrounds, and walks of life.
