Join one of the Hilltop Alliance's three action teams.  These are teams made up of citizens and business owners just like you who are working to make our Hilltop a better place to live, work, and play.  The action teams are as follows:

One-Stop-Shop Action Team (service coordination)

Meetings: Last Wednesday of each month at 6pm.

The One-Stop-Shop Action Team is working hard to update the social services list for the Hilltop.  This will include both large and grassroots organizations and will cover everything from family support to community recreation opportunities.  It will be available to residents online and at all public locations including libraries, senior centers, and rec centers.

Re-Purposing Vacant Properties Action Team

Meetings: Third Tuesday of each month at 6pm at the Mt. Oliver Borough Building.

The Re-Purposing Vacant Properties team has been approved for three proposals.  One will be to landscape the "gateway lot" at the corner of Mountain St. and Wagner Ave.  The group is looking for volunteers to help in the last week of September.  The second proposal is to have vacant land tested on Beltzhoover Avenue to see if it could be used for a community garden.  A plan and landscape map will also be generated.  If you are interested in being involved in the community garden, please contact us.  The final proposal is to send people to the Reclaiming Vacant Properties Conference in October. 

Public Safety Task Force

Meetings: Second Tuesday of every Month at 6pm.

The Public Safety Task Force is working on two iniatives.  The first is to bring police and youth together by bringing the Jr. Police Academy to the Hilltop and offer the program exclusively to Hilltop youth.  In this program they work next to police and learn why it is important for citizen's to be the eyes and ears of the force.  The second is to expand on Block Club membership and help new block clubs to form in the Hilltop.  If you are interested in starting or joining a block club, please contact us.

We are looking for new members for each of these three action teams.  They are all flexible and you can volunteer as little or as much of your time as you like.  Contact us for more in formation.
