Founded by Genevieve Minick, M.D. & Marion B. Minick in 2007, the vision of Neighbors Teaching Neighbors is to enrich the lives of the people living in the Twin Tiers, and the surrounding Pennsylvania & New York areas. Neighbors Teaching Neighbors rejoices the growing diversity of the Twin Tiers, bringing together neighbors to share and celebrate a wide variety of activities, ideas, information, and skills in supportive informal settings. Neighbors Teaching Neighbors will offer courses that will encourage positive exchange among people from different socioeconomic backgrounds, age groups, cultures, races, religions, physical abilities and sexual orientations.
Neighbors Teaching Neighbors will offer an eclectic assortment of classes for adults and children throughout the year, in fall, winter, spring and summer sessions. Classes will be held in local schools, churches, fraternal lodges, businesses, homes or outdoors at the many surrounding Twin Tiers parks and scenic points of interest.

Our committed classroom instructors will be both educated professionals and ordinary citizens from the Twin Tiers and surrounding areas, people who wish to share their special talents with others.
