Hello Neighbor

Hello Neighbor is a United States non-profit organization headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA that was founded in 2017 by Sloane Davidson.[1] This organization aims to partner recent refugees with families already living in their communities.[2] Hello Neighbor's goal is to help refugees become more self-sufficient[3] by partnering them with friends who can help them both navigate city systems and have a little fun in the process.[4]

As of May 2017, all Pittsburgh mentorship slots have been filled.[5]
