About STEEPLETOWN NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES INC

Steepletown Neighborhood Services is a neighborhood-based nonprofit in Grand Rapids, Michigan that operates workforce development, early childhood education, GED/high-school completion, senior home chore services, and culinary training programs for West Side residents and surrounding communities. The organization emphasizes community partnerships and practical training that help participants gain employment, complete education milestones, and contribute back to the neighborhood. Founded from a collaboration of local churches in 1993 and incorporated in 1994, Steepletown became an independent 501(c)(3) organization in 2020. In recent years the agency has expanded program delivery (including managing Great Start Readiness Program classrooms and operating JobStart and KitchenSage workforce tracks), completed leadership transition with a new Executive Director in July 2024, and continued publishing regular impact and program updates through 2024–2026.
