NeighborWorks Green Bay Team Spotlight
Martin Valenzuela
Bilingual Housing Counselor
Martin is a natural educator – a high school and club soccer coach and trainer and an English Language Paraprofessional. As an EL Parapro (English Language Paraprofessional) he has utilized his bilingual abilities to help families and students communicate and receive the same opportunities within a school district as any other student who has English as their first language.
“I enjoy being able to help people from the same background as myself and with the same cultural upbringing as my family. If I am able to do that with breaking the barrier of language and helping families achieve their dreams as simple and important as owning a home, then I more than anything wanted to be a part of it. I love being part of a positive movement. My motivations are simple and that’s knowing I have helped in creating a better opportunity for my friends, family and/or community.”
Martin recently obtained his HUD certification for housing counseling and is working with families who speak Spanish in our community! Martin loves soccer, staying fit, and all animals. He enjoys being outdoors and visiting big cities while experiencing new things. “Food is my love language! My dog, Brava, is my life. My big family of three brothers, my two nieces, two nephews and, my parents who of course I love very much are also very important to me.”
Thank you for hard work and dedication to our community, Martin!
NeighborWorks Week 2024 – Celebrating the NeighborWorks Network Impact
June 1st, we celebrated NeighborWorks Week, an annual week of service that showcases and celebrates how, together with residents, the NeighborWorks Network strengthens communities. We are grateful to the volunteers, business partners, and civic leaders who stand with us to help deliver on our critical mission to solve housing challenges and build stronger communities.
Our NeighborWorks Week Kick-off Event was held on Saturday, June 1!
NeighborWorks Green Bay partnered with 12 other organizations to host an advocacy and resource fair to provide information on the resources available in our community. The fair was held at NeighborWorks Green Bay’s office, located at 437 S. Jackson Street, with food and prizes given out! Discussions about housing advocacy were held and insights from our neighbors were gained regarding the various housing issues we are all witnessing and experiencing.
NeighborWorks Green Bay partnered up with the Navarino Neighborhood Association to kick off Navarino Neighborhood’s Summer Reading program, complimented by a tree dedication to Paul Hartman, a longtime Navarino resident. Afterwards, Green Bay kids and families engaged in a neighborhood scavenger hunt! Part of our Kick-off Event was held at the beautiful Navarino Park on Jackson Street.
