OFFICE AND SHARED SPACE

TRANSFORMING COMMUNITY

Since 1993, NEW’s 11,000 square-foot Ann Arbor building overlooking the Huron River has been home to a vibrant community of partners sharing space and resources and learning from one another.

This proximity creates unlikely synergies, partnerships and opportunities that strengthen our nonprofit ecosystem and echo across Southeast Michigan.

Yodit Mesfin Johnson, President and CEO of NEW and Melvin Henley, Community Economic Development Association of Michigan

I’m a one-person show; most of our board and volunteers do not live in Michigan. As part of the community that NEW curates, I’m surrounded by a wealth of knowledge and expertise that I trust to help me be better. I feel seen—and valued.
