There are currently 41 Gorge Youth Mentoring matches across three counties. However, we still have over 30 mentees on our waitlist, waiting for a consistent, positive relationship with a mentor they can depend on.

For the last several months, The Next Door Inc.’s (TNDI) Marketing and Development team have been working on redesigning our organization’s website. The team embarked on this much-needed project at the end of Summer 2023 to rethink the structure of our site and improve its accessibility to the people we serve, our partners, and our community.

We’re bringing back a popular selection of some of our favorite workshops, like Latino Outreach, Plain Language, and more. Each workshop provides skills, resources, and tools you can implement in your professional or personal life right away.

Each year, the Women’s Giving Circle, a membership-based group with the Mid-Columbia Health Foundation, donates their dues to local nonprofits. Since it began in 2019, the group has raised over $46,000 for community organizations. For their 2023 annual donation, the Women’s Giving Circle generously selected The Next Door Inc. (TNDI) as one of two recipients!

As 2023 comes to a close, The Next Door Inc. (TNDI) is thrilled to announce Lars Reierson as the recipient of our Philanthropist of the Year award! This recognition celebrates Lars’ exceptional generosity, significant community involvement, and outstanding philanthropic impact on The Next Door and the Gorge communities we serve.
