2026 Los Angeles Congress of Neighborhoods: From Challenge to Change

We’re excited to return to City Hall for our 16th Congress of Neighborhoods — a day dedicated to connection, collaboration, and community power.

Join us on Saturday, September 26th for From Challenge to Change, where Neighborhood Councils and community members from across Los Angeles come together for inspiring workshops, meaningful conversations, and shared solutions.

We look forward to welcoming NC leaders, advocates, and neighbors for a vibrant celebration of civic engagement and the collective work that moves our city forward.
